I tried searching for that error message quickly and only found it in regards to WIFI which usually meant the person was using the wrong WIFI driver or some setup issue.
1. When this happens is anything plugged into the USB port on your BBB? 2. Is your BBB connected to a computer ... I seem to remember seeing a post about having either the eth0 plugged in or hooking up to a computer but not both. 3. The only other thought is to check the bootup messages and see what eth0 related messages pop up.
