Hi Devendra, I think the best book to go about learning
is Linux Kernel Programming --- Robert Love. This is for 2.6 kernel, which is
currently the stable kernel and there are quite a lot of things which are
different from the 2.4 kernel. So go in for this book. Also wherever you come across any problems
browse through the net, there are few articles which are of great help. However, what is of importance , you
should also go through the FAQs also. To setup your box, install the Linux (preferable
Red Hat) and the kernel from www.kernel.org
This gives you the latest kernel which is 2.6.21 From the above link you should get the
source code. Then follow the Robert Love’s book
about how to go about building the kernel. Primarily there are lot of
configuration parameters you need to set and this is done by doing make config(command line i/f) or make
xconfig After successful completion, do a make by executing
make 2> /dev/null Once built , you can try inserting few
modules, this again can be got from the net, by searching Linux Kernel Module
Programming. Follow the same subscription list to start
with. This is a good list. Folks, let me know if there is any other
list which you can suggest, this list is better to learn the kernel. Regards, Rajendra Stalekar(extn 2016) Location:- Akruti Mobile no:- +91 9860501143 From:
