Hi Kyle;
I have "The Linux Kernel Primer" which I have read from cover-to-cover.

As well, I have completely read over the last two years:
Bibliogarphy
"Computer Organization and Design" Second Edition : The
Hardware/Software Interface"
by David A. Patterson, John L. Hennessy
.
.
.
I am try to put all that together in my head as a simplified modal, so
that as I pursue kernel questions I have an entry point to delve and
dive from.
Hi,
As a novice myself, i would recommend Robert Love's 'Linux Kernel Development'. It is a small book and paints a good picture of the Linux kernel, nicely giving a view of the many different components involved.
It does not delve into deep details however, those can always be obtained from ULTK or LDD or the source ultimately.
My 2 cents...
HTH.
Best regards,
Pranav
