so... starting at 0x0 with a limit of 0x1000?
That's pretty large. The biggest GDT is 256 * 8,
which is 0x800.

Same with the idt, and it'd start at 0x800

You're overwritting the real mode interrupts.

Again, your gdt is bigger than the largest gdt possible. That might cause an internal logic error or something.
