Perhaps the best book on kernel hacking practicalities - By: , 15 Sep 2005 
Sometimes the style can be a little cheesy & Robert Love avoids many of the device driver issues that most wannabe kernel hackers will face, but as a general & practical introduction to the 2.6 series kernel I doubt this book will be surpassed. Love focuses on the big picture throughout & assumes some, but not too much, general knowledge of operating systems basics. If you want to become a kernel hacker then you need to buy & read this book - I came at all of this the other way round (wrote a device driver & then looked for more about the kernel) - but reading this first would have been better.
A good roundup. Recommended. - By: William Owen Smith, 26 Feb 2004 
This should take the kernel novice & make them perhaps not a kernel expert, but at least strongly informed on the technical side of how to start hacking the kernel.
The book particularly focuses on some of the improvementsin the 2.6 kernel, which is very welcome.
