Hi.
I'm currently doing some research on the IA32 Segementation Concept.
But there's one thing I don't understand:
If I perform a far jump it looks like this:
jmp 16bit:32bit
The 16bit are representing the segement number and the 32bit the
offset. But to what refers the 16bit? To the GDT or the current LDT?
IIRC, there is one bit flag in selector that decides if it is from GDT
or LDT. But maybe I am wrong...

Ok, you're right, I read over this (see IA-32 Manual Part 3, Page 81).
