This is annoying, two mail with same contents.
this explains why thing are not working for you. Be a bit patient while
group replies to you mail.
Besides your focus is wrong, please try to learn as much as you can rather
just thinking about the job.
Yes most companies wont take you until you have relevant experience and/or
you got a patch submitted upstream.
so, i would suggest start working with user space stuff for some company and
in the mean time hone your skills.

My faq page on newbies will soon be up, you can get more info from there.

Have you tried with Linux embedded systems ? Hawkboard (OMAP-L138) is
an open hardware system which require kind of development and you can
put in practice, real word practice all you have learned about Linux
Kernel, Check the TODO on this link
http://groups.google.com/group/hawkboard/browse_thread/thread/52cc87992a120abf/9ae06f6230281740?show_docid=9ae06f6230281740

Hope it helps

try to get involved into trivial things like kernel janitor first IMHO.

NB: you sounds panic. What happen? the worlds won't end just because
you don't become expert by tomorrow. And I don't know, this is the
n*10^x times or so I read this kind of query. What happen to you
people? Relax, ok? relax..... getting rejected? that's life. Not sure
where to start? Who doesn't? Low on morale? Come on....are you killing
somebody? So just calm down, take a deep breath and realize this is a
real world.
