Protected Mode Exceptions

Post by Mikemk »

I was going through the wiki (Yes, I still use this site, I just don't post often because everybody here is rude) and discovered that, though they were talked about numerous times, in no spot does it actually give a list with descriptions of the exceptions. They weren't hard to find, I just did a google search, but for completeness, I'd recommend adding them. (List: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/117389 (Is this reliable? I'm not sure))

It references the 386 manual. While it looks exhaustive for those devices and covers most cases on later machines, it's not complete for modern x86 targets, and often wrong if you're running in long mode.

There's an equivalent section in each of the intel manuals that contains that very same list, but then up-to-date.
