The Linux kernel primer discusses both PowerPC and X86 architectures. The other two books, Linux kernel development (Rob Love) and Understanding the Linux Kernel discuss x86.

I would suggest taking a look at Rob Loves book first and then Kernel primer and finally to get into the gory details, Understanding the Linux kernel. -Pavan On Sat, Apr 26, 2008 at 10:03 PM, sahlot arvind <asahlot@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I think that for the first go Linux Kernel Development by Robert Love would > be the best alternative.
