Before you tell me to RTFW, I have already but I don't fully understand how to enable interrupts. I have my basic kernel, inb, outb, and print functions. But in order to use the inb and outb I have have to enable interrupts correct? It would really be appreciated if someone could tell me how to enable interrupts

Incorrect. Port I/O has nothing to do with interrupts.
