Hi!
I want to start working on the Linux kernel but am an absolute beginner. I am currently on my way through Robert Love's Linux Kernel Development and need help with finding something I can work on to get a hang of what it's like.

I have also subscribed to the LKML, but find it completely incomprehensible! As a beginner, would it be better to work with the kernel of a specific OS (I'm running Ubuntu), or work on the upstream kernel?

Hi, 

If you are an absolute beginner, I recommend you to start studying and hacking a small O.S., like the xv6:

If you need a background on the "low level", I suggest you to read this:
