glad to see u guys got it sorted, gives me hope!!
changed to a few diff IP addresses and no joy still.

You may have tried everything already, but just in case...changed to a few diff IP addresses and no joy still.
0GH/s
Do you already have a device that uses Bitmain's default IP address of 192.168.1.99?
If so, assign it a new IP address, and continue (if not, that's perfect, continue):
1) Download 1l1l11ll1l's S2 SD Card image from here (all credit to 1l1l11ll1l - good chap!):
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16075357/bitmain.img.zip
2) Unzip and write the image to a brand new class 10 micro-SD card that is at least 2 GB. Buy two, just to have a spare. (FWIW I bought two of these: Apacer Micro SD Card 8 GB Class 10.)
3) Go through all the hassle of putting it into your S2 BBB.
4) See if your machine mines with 1l1l11ll1l's image. Don't change anything yet. I found it worked for me. Obviously we haven't set it up properly for your S2 yet, but at least it will show if a known good image on a fresh SD card works on your machine. Yes it will be mining for 1l1l11ll1l at this stage, no prob, this is just a short test on a known good image.
Note that 1l1l11ll1l's image is the latest S2 firmware: "Thu Apr 10 19:08:42 CST 2014" which is what you get if you update with "initramfs.bin.SD-20140410.tar".
5) Once you have it working, set up your miner config and IP address to your preference.
I'll try flashing the firmware though i see it already has the latest version...
can u link it, plz
can u link it, plz
You can get it here.

Aaaaaaaaand its dead again.
Power to it went off.
All lights are dark. Screen is dark.

I am sorry. Normally I would be able to help but I just did not do anything meaningful and it started working.
Hostname antMiner
Protocol Static
IP address is unique and open
Netmask is 255.255.255.0
Gateway is 192.168.1.1 which is what I set my modem to.
DNS servers to 8.8.8.8
I flashed to the new firmware
I removed every single card and reseated them
I had one loose ribbon cable. I fixed it.
I powered down and back up a few times.
Good luck.
I have started getting the 404 Not Found error too. I found that this URL works for me (replace with your S2 IP address):
http://192.168.1.99/index.html
Wow, nice work. How the hell did you figure that out? that's great news.
I don't currently have this problem, but it's probably coming, so it's sure nice to have this solution on deck.
If you figure out an explanation, please do share.
I figured out the URL by SSHing onto my S2 (somehow I got on... not sure how with my router in conniptions with an IP address conflict).
I found the directory /www/pages which has the files:
administration.html
cgi-bin
css
dav
images
index.html
js
kernelLog.html
minerConfiguration.html
minerStatus.html
monitor.html
network.html
networkDiagnostics.html
reboot.html
resources
type
upgrade.html
So I tried accessing a page directly, e.g.:
http://192.168.1.99/index.html
http://192.168.1.99/minerConfiguration.html
Any of the above should work
same.
tried with only 1 board in - still 0GH/s
can anyone confirm the RED LED on the BBB is supposed to be lit ?
I finally got mine working... I'm such a nobbin, I assigned an IP address to my S2 which was THE SAME as an existing PC on my network. I finally found it because I powered down the S2 AND pulled the network plug... but was still able to ping the IP address. That's when the penny dropped. Even with the same IP address as another PC, the S2 would mine for a bit, then stop and beep, then start again... so it appeared like an intermittent problem.tried with only 1 board in - still 0GH/s

I do have a red LED on the BBB, also one on the board that it is attached to - both red LEDs are on constantly (no blinking).
I got it working.
No idea how. I changed DNS servers to 8.8.8.8 though. But then it wouldnt work for awhile.
I go afk for a second. Come back 10 minutes later, its working.

once you get it updated to the current firmware dated april 10, theres a DIAGNOSTICS tab in the Network config that lets you ping, traceroute, and nslookup.
When i hit ping it just says "ping bitmaintech.com"
And nothing else.
At least your hardware error rate is zero 
Haha. But on a serious note, try it with only one module ? Does the green light blinks on any of the modules ?
Its the same as all my other machines. Is that wrong?
This is the highest speed I can get.

Nothing.
Whats a BBB?
As far as I can tell, since the boards are hot, its doing SOMETHING. Maybe mining for Bitmaintech??
But no hashrate.

sorry to pass out on you all but i was exhausted.
i said i can ping no problem IE ping with 0% loss = ping is possible
on BBB blue leds flash, red led is solid
on control board2 solid red leds. 1 solid green, and 1 flashing slowly green led.
ive pulled the short 'pigtail' ether cable and connected to the BBB directly....
LCD screen is ok but the red and green lights to the right side are both off
and the back plane has 2 solid red leds, one on either side.
And STILL - 404 Not Found....

There is one blinking blue LED by the ethernet port cable.
There is a solid green LED on the middle card in the center of the rig.

There is a solid red LED on the middle card in the center of the rig.
There are 2 solid red LEDs on the bott board where all of the other boards plug into. They are between cards 3 and 4 from the top, and 3 and 4 from the bottom.
Some of the cards are piping hot. Some are not.
This is my hash rate

if you boot to the point where the blue light comes up on the BBB, your LAN router is in the 192.168.1.1, and 192.168.1.99 is in use on the network, then it *should* start hashing on it's own shortly after booting.
you can tell it's hashing when the activity lights on each board start blinking, and the hash rate on the front LCD climbs to around 1000.
so, what exactly does the lcd show after booting?

How about a panoramic?
Can you guess which one I had to set-up in a hurry without all the shelves I needed? If one of those S1's in the center dies, it's staying dead! lol, they're all zip tied together!
Can you tell which are the Batch 1 and which are the Batch 2+? hint: LCD Backlights

Simply jaw-dropping. Kudos!
My S2 has been mining overnight, so roughly 12+ hours now. According to the graph on BTC Guild it was roughly 1 TH/s the whole time, with minor variations.
It was mining on my table at home, now I have moved it to my rack cabinet and I'm having some trouble. It has powered up and started mining, but I can no longer access the web page or ssh into the miner!
I hate being locked out. Has anyone had this problem? Any solutions?
Edit: I can ping it.

You probably have a corrupted SD card.
Nice setup, Samsonn25. Curious. What are you using to power ur S1s? Are they server class PSUs? Details please. 
Very impressive, 52-54TH?

Theres a blinking green light on the center module where the ethernet goes in and 2 solid red lights on the bottom board
