So the point of my original post was that you did not tell us which OS you're running on your beaglebone. So you at best are going ot have a bunch of people speculating at what the potential cause can be. However the Original OS( distro if you prefer ) was Angstrom, which had issues with the dropbear ssh server. Something about a corrupted( empty) config file that needed to be deleted, so the system upon reboot would regenerate a new file that would work. As for details, I do not remember offhand, but can be found on this very google group is you're persistent in searching.
