Hi,

I have a 5volt, 1 Amp usb power adaptor and a working model B raspberry pi.  All of a sudden it started showing the, “error 110 transferring data” problem.  After trolling for days I came across this solution from github’s forums.

What I had to do was remove the sd card (a Sandisk class 10, 16gig) from the pi and insert it in to my  Linux box.   Mount the /boot and  / partitions.  Then edit /boot/cmdline.txt and modify, “elevator=noop sdhci-bcm2708.missing_status=0 sdhci-bcm2708.sync_after_dma=0”

Then edit /etc/fstab and append nodiratime like this:

defaults,noatime,nodiratime for /

Then safely remove the sd card.

That fixed it for me.  Super thanks to remsnet for the fix! 🙂
