Hi All,
I have finally caved in and am implementing my IDT. But alas I am having a problem... So you are aware, I have remaped the PIC, then disabled IRQs, I have setup an ISR for INT 30h (along with all exceptions et al). I load the IDT. I turn on interrupts with STI. If I don't call an INT 30h, the system runs forever, no sweat. But as soon as I INT 30h, the system reboots. It is late, so I'm heading to bed, but I will post some of the offending code for your thoughts later tomorrow (today, damn, it's past midnight). Any words of wisdom or thoughts?

My words of wisdom: You've screwed up.. 
Seriously... Much can go wrong in your IDT, to give any real tip, I'm gonna need to see some code.

ROTFLMAO! Thanks...yeah, I'm sure I screwed something up. It was late last night. Here is a file with the combined information needed. Notice I used your code for reprgramming the PIC and disabling IRQs. In addition I used your convention for loading the addresses into the IDT. Following the partial IDT (everthing after 30h is redundant as far as entries) are the called ISRs. Withn them are functions that work under conditions without the INT 30h called.
To reiterate, if I comment out INT 30h from teh PMDOE.ASM file, everthing works correctly. The procedure DisplayBootTime uses the CMOS time to update the screen with the current time and is my version of JMP $.
I have tried looking at Barry Brey's book without anything that is glaring at me. I will re-look at the docs you have on-line but I can not recall anything else I could be doing wrong.
The error I receive from Bochs 2.2 is:
00066869982p[CPU0 ] >>PANIC<< fetch_raw_descriptor: LDTR.valid=0
Not know for certain what this means, other than I suspect LDTR is the local descriptor register, I am not using a local descriptor table. I am using a global descriptor table. Perhaps I need to use one? Looking at your code I couldn't find reference to using LDT so I'm at a loss.

Wow, what a bunch of poop... I figured it out. My code selector variable, which I was using from the label in my GDT was some memory location way far away, probably in Star Wars III. 
So, suffice it to say, when I changed the variable to 08h, everything worked as it should:

So now I have interrupts, NICE!

I'm a bit late to this post.. 
Anyway nice to hear that it worked out (and that you find my source usefull).
BTW cool "screenshot", looks like you got some drivers since last one..

Those are just stubs for now...I am working on the timer driver now and will use it for testing device installation, after I've gotten it working within the kernel first.
