I am in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Server and I messed with Bash and now I am here at kernel panic. Please help if there is any possible workaround for restoring Bash.

That is a difficult problem to solve. You will need to investigate from a live usb and chroot into your ubuntu root partition and investigate. You can try to first boot an older kernel. Once you chroot you can see if bash is working. You can then perhaps try to debug why /sbin/init . See https://askubuntu.com/questions/17647/target-filesystem-doesnt-have-requested-sbin-init . You also may have removed more than bash so perhaps reinstall ubuntu-desktop. – Panther Oct 03 '17 at 15:29

See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot . If none of that really makes sense, perhaps reinstall and restore from backup. One final piece of advice, in general removing and reinstalling rarely fixes problems and please ask first if you have an issue. – Panther Oct 03 '17 at 15:30
