I built UML (user mode linux ) for 2.6.38 and 2.6.39 kernels. in 2.6.38 routing table is correct. But in 2.6.39 default gw appears on top of the routing table. same problem persist in 3.0.0 also. is it a known problem or fixed in higher versions ? -Ratheesh

You cannot depend upon the order in which routing table entries are listed by the kernel. The table internally is correct, and lookups will match using the proper longest-matching-prefix algorithm.
