That explains a lot of things... I've added a CLI before entering long mode and now it works! The kernel successfully boots up and everything works. Thanks a lot!Octocontrabass wrote: Oh, how about that, interrupts are enabled. Did you forget to disable interrupts before switching to long mode?

Sure enough, it's displaying them wrong. I made my kernel deliberately triple fault, and it shows my gdt entries as 16-bit as well. My gdt does not and never has contained anything but 64-bit entries, so it's definitely a bug.Octocontrabass wrote:I think it's just displaying them wrong.
