open() hanging...



Hello,

I have encountered a problem when changing from one motherboard to another (Abit IC7-G -> ASUS P5ND2). My problem is that under some unknown circumstances a call to open() hangs. The process that that calls open() does so several times over several hours until one call to open() hangs.

Is open() allowed to behave this way? Shouldn't open() be unblocking and returning a fault if it can't open the device? If this is acceptable behaiviour for open() then how should one handle it?

If this is off topic for this group I apologize. Maybe some can point me to a more suitable group in that case?

Regards,
Mattias
