I believe this results from when you upgrade your kernel from the older series to the 2.2.x series. The older kernels had a "Route" command which is used in various startup scripts, but the newer series is "smarter" and no longer requires the route command so it doesn't exist. These error messages shouldn't be hurting anything, but you can try commenting out the line lines which use the "route" command in /etc/init.d/network
