The problem is even after I boot by
linux init=/sbin/sash
None of these commands like
rm
echo
vi
mv
When I try this command I get the same error (Error loading shared library).
are working since they all are not standalone program so I am not able to
modify/remove the file /etc/ld.so.preload.

Yes, but it'll not help you - see below :-)

It does so you can not use single mode to pull itself out of such situation.

So you are total novice then ? Hmm. Try to enter
-- cut --
init=/sbin/sash
-- cut --
while using boot disk. It'll load /sbin/sash instead of /sbin/init .
There you can remove /etc/ls.so.preload with
-- cut --
# echo > /etc/ld.so.preload
-- cut --
trick (it's built-in command) and then you can do
-- cut --
sync
-- cut --
(to push changes to disk) and reboot system with reset button (it's possible
to do it more cleanly but since you rebooted system many times already
uncleanly it's better to force fsck anyway).
Hope it helps.
