How to handle int interruption in real mode? (16 bit)

1

I am creating an operating system since this summer, it is an 32 bits operating system which work in protected mode. I need to creat a way to make BIOS interrupt so I need to pass in real mode and before in 16bit, I sucessfully pass to 16 bit but I am not sure that I pass in real mode at the end of my code. I try by example to switch video mode but my emulator, Boch write :

00012417016e[CPU0 ] interrupt(real mode) vector > idtr.limit
00012417016e[CPU0 ] interrupt(real mode) vector > idtr.limit
00012417016e[CPU0 ] interrupt(real mode) vector > idtr.limit
00012417016i[CPU0 ] real mode
00012417016i[CPU0 ] CS.d_b = 16 bit

My assembly codee to switch in real mode is :

global go16
;______________________________________________________________________________________________________
;Switch to 16-bit real Mode
;IN/OUT:  nothing

go16:
    [BITS 32]
    ;cli                 ;Clear interrupts    
    pop edx             ;save return location in edx
    jmp 0x20:PM16       ;Load CS with selector 0x20
;For go to 16-bit real mode, first we have to go to 16-bit protected mode
    [BITS 16]
PM16:
    mov ax, 0x28            ;0x28 is 16-bit protected mode selector.
    mov ss, ax  
    mov ds, ax
    mov es, ax
    mov gs, ax
    mov fs, ax
    mov sp, 0x7c00+0x200    ;Stack hase base at 0x7c00+0x200    

    mov eax, cr0
    mov [savcr0], eax
    and eax, 0xfffffffe     ;Clear protected enable bit in cr0
    mov cr0, eax  
    jmp 0:realMode          ;Load CS and IP

realMode:
;Load segment registers with 16-bit Values.
    mov ax, 0   
    mov ds, ax
    mov es, ax
    mov fs, ax
    mov gs, ax
    mov ss, ax
    mov sp, 0x7c00+0x200    
    mov ax, 0x07c0
    mov ds, ax
    mov es, ax
    mov ax, 0x8000
    mov ss, ax
    mov sp, 0xf000
    lidt [idt_real]     ;Load real mode interrupt vector table
    sti
    mov ax,4c00h
    int 10h
    cli
    hlt


;Real mode interrupt vector table
idt_real:
    dw 0x3ff        ; 256 entries, 4b each = 1K
    dd 0            ; Real Mode IVT @ 0x0000
 
savcr0:
    dd 0
