Kernal Panic - Not syncing : VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0)

Posted on June 20, 2018

After rebooting the server I am getting Kernal Panic - Not syncing : VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0) error, and not able to access it. Any suggestion to fix it quickly? It’s a production server having 150+ websites and all of them are down now.

Hmm, I am not sure but if you backup your data, I can give your droplet a second eye. Otherwise, I am not sure. My droplet was down for 8 days before I could get a solution.
