I was a PC and AS400 programmer for many years and have turned my focus entirely toward linux as I am disabled now with plenty of free time. I can't find any highly technical manuals for the latest linux kernels explaining their functioning. Maybe such a thing is not compiled and must be gotten from decentralized sources. Could someone tell me a book or something, especially for the 4Mpg kernel. I want to know pretty much how it works from a programmers perspective and module interface. I'd like to write a module for the ICH5 disk controller in native mode that doesn't rely on a qnx micro kernel file system like the Window's version does. I would really appreciate the help. Tom
