SIOCADDRT is the "Socket I/O Control ADD RouTe" command to the kernel. 
It is failing for some reason.  These messages are almost useless
without knowing the "route" command that was generated by the script. 
You might try to find out what route commands the network script is
trying to run.

The 2.1 kernels handle routes slightly differently.  In particular,
there is no longer any need to set a route on a particular interface.

Whereas in 2.0, you would first need to "ifconfig" the interface, then
"route add -net" the same address in order to route packets through it,
in 2.1, the second "route" step is now performed internally by the
kernel, and generates an error like the above, if you attempt to do it
yourself.

So, possibly some of the messages above are harmless errors, but my
guess is that something more insidious is happening, such as that your
ethernet interfaces aren't even configuring up at all.  Does "ifconfig"
show you anything?
