IDT

[Tom Fritz]

I know I've posted this on other boards(not much help there)

But I need to know if I should remap the IRQs and load an IDT, and make my own interrupt handler then use sti to enable harware interrupts?

Thank you,

You're definitly going to want to remap the hardware IRQs to above 32d.  You don't really _have_ to, but it makes things _a lot_ easier.  Essentially, it's because the hardware exceptions also occupy ints 0-32d, which makes things complicated (did int 4 come from a serial port, or is it a stack fault exception?, for example)

And yes, you're going to have to make your own interrupt handlers _AND_ use sti to enable interrupts... the two are NOT mutually exclusive.
