I recall something (a long time ago) in /etc/init.d/networking, or
whatever it was called then, that when you upgraded from the the 2.1.x
to 2.2.x kernel, the syntax on initializing network/localhost changed. 
That SIOCADDRT error always popped up on bootup.  As I am currently running
kernel 2.4.5 on all my systems, I do not have the correct syntax, or
the bad one for that matter, around.  

My only thought would be to check the archives from a year or 2 ago
looking for SIOCADDRT.

Sorry I can;t remember more.
