Somehow it can't run /sbin/init maybe some filesystem error or the init is deleted/corrupted.

Try to boot the machine with LiveCD and mount the filesystem and check /sbin/init.

Actually I have only server.Vdi image .. Can it be mounted through liveCD... – pavun_cool Jan 10 at 6:50
You attach a LiveCD iso image to the virtual machine and boot that, like a phisical machine. – Stone Jan 10 at 6:51
Thanks, I have successfully mounted the file system. How can I solve the problem now...? – pavun_cool Jan 10 at 12:17

This setting helped for me: in VirtualBox, where you set the optical drive of the guest machine, you enabled some drive of the host's. If that's a virtual drive, don't enable Passthrough option.
