Subject: Kernel/Hardware hacking start?
Date: Fri, 28 Dec 2001 15:30:09 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <007501c18fe6$d3a39e10$0300a8c0@yellow> (raw)

As Eliezer dos Santos Magalhaes was wondering, I too am wanting to learn
about hacking the linux kernel as well as device drivers.  I actually own
Linux Device Drivers (1st edition), but was wondering if someone could
direct me towards a source that explained how operating systems deal with
boot up, initialization of hardware, and the like.  In other words, I want
to learn the kernel from boot up to shutdown.  Is there a comprehensive
guide out there for this?  I would like to learn more about the low level
hardware stuff and programming it (the more i think about it, the more it
seems like i just need to re-read Linux Device Drivers :-) ) Is the kernel
the best place to learn this?  Any suggestions would be apprecitated.  Thank
you.
