code double faults when in a while(1); loop

[Gman]

I recently got my IDT working, and when I call an interrupt it returns fine. But sometime in the middle of my while(1); loop a int 8 is called, which leads to many int 13. Does anyone know why this is happening? All the computer is doing is jumping back to itself.

Make sure interrupts are disabled.

Have you remapped the PIC to not overlap with processor faults? Is there a valid interrupt handler set up for int 8?

[Gman]

That seems like it is just avoiding the problem.

Have you sent a new ICW2 to the PIC? If not, IRQ 0 (which 8254 timer channel 0 is connected to) corresponds to interrupt vector 8, making it indistinguishable from a double fault.
