Hello all
I'm so happy, things is going good very good
Anyway I want to ask, lets say I loaded GDT, entered pm mode (enabling pmbit in cr0) and did far jump, now I want to reload the GDT and load new IDT. Can I reload GDT? In Bochs I didn't get any exception or something like this.
Thanks a lot

Re: Can I reload the GDT?
Yep. If the GDT didn't change (and you haven't activated paging and mapped the GDT somewhere else) there is no reason to reload it, but you shouldn't get an error for doing so. However, if you reload the GDT, the segments you have previously loaded do not change until you reload them.
