All of a sudden without change any configuration, my server suddenly restart around 4AM SGT. When I access the droplet console I get this error message.
Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom … done. /sbin/init: error while loading shared libraries: /lib/i386-linux-gnu/librt.so.1: invalid ELF header [ 2.295850] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

Using disk recovery I just copied all the data and transferred it to a new droplet. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-recover-from-file-system-corruption-using-fsck-and-a-recovery-iso
you have to mount /dev/sda somewhere, like <br> <br>mkdir /mnt <br>mount /dev/sda /mnt <br> <br>but it would be a good idea to fsck it first <br>fsck -yf /dev/sda <br>
Tried mount /dev/vda or /dev/sda for my case, but it has an error of can’t read ‘/etc/fstab’: No such file … /etc only contains the following in the rescue kernel. <br>console-setup <br>ld.so.conf <br>ld.so.conf.d <br>udev <br>default <br>modprobe.d <br>ld.so.cache <br>mtab <br> <br> <br>I also dont have the /lib/i386-linux-gnu/ directory but have this one instead /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu … this directory contains librt.so.1 <br>
boot using the rescue kernel <br>mount /dev/vda <br>and look at /lib/i386-linux-gnu/librt.so.1
Its a 64bit kernel 512MB Ram 20GB SSD Disk San Francisco 1 LAMP on Ubuntu 12.04
a complete stab in the dark, but are you booting a 32 bit kernel on a 64 bit userland? that won’t work.
