I'm not sure if I should interpret "Now I can enter protected model
and mov GDT, IDT correctly" as a claim that implies that the following
is true:

1. MOV DS/ES/SS, non-NULL selector doesn't cause any exceptions
2. the exceptions are actually caught by the exception handlers

That's because of this statement: "when cpu run to the instuction 'mov
gs, cx', CPU will reset".

Most likely your GDT is incorrect and your exception handlers don't
work either (if they exist at all).

Finally, I have no idea what you mean by "But when I am about to mov
TSS". There's no MOV TSS instruction (only LTR). Did you mean you
relocated the TSS in memory from one place to another?
