Immediate operands in AT&T assembly follow the same radix rules as C. 
(1, 01, 0x1 are decimal, octal, hex.)  So you were calling int *decimal*
10, or int 0xa, which is the Invalid TSS exception.

Write `movl $0x13' and `int $0x10' and all should be well.

And note that in the first line, you probably mean `movw'.
