Hi,
I have a (in my opinion) very strange problem with LGDT. My kernel is loaded to 0x1000:0x0000 in real mode (with the FAT12-Bootloader by John S. Fine). Then it enables the 800x600x32 VESA mode and tries to switch to protected mode. But when I'm loading the GDT, my computer and bochs hang. Other VMs like VirtualBox, QEMU, VMware or VirtualPC work!
This is the first stuff in my kernel.asm:

You can see that the kernel enables VESA. But then it hangs and you have to click on the power button. EIP is on 0x01BB, there's the lgdt command.
Is somebody there, who could help me?
P.S.: There's another little question... What segments are FS and GS?
