INT 15 - SYSTEM - SWITCH TO PROTECTED MODE AH = 89h BL = interrupt number of IRQ0 (IRQ1-7 use next 7 interrupts) BH = interrupt number of IRQ8 (IRQ9-F use next 7 interrupts) ES:SI -> GDT for protected mode offset 0h null descriptor (initialize to zeros) 8h GDT descriptor 10h IDT descriptor 18h DS 20h ES 28h SS 30h CS 38h uninitialized, used to build descriptor for BIOS CS Return: CF set on error AH = FFh error enabling address line 20 CF clear if successful AH = 00h in protected mode at specified address Notes: BL and BH must be multiples of 8 the protected-mode CS must reference the same memory as the CS this function is called from because execution continues with the address following the interrupt call SeeAlso: AH=87h,AH=88h,INT 67/AX=DE0Ch .
