Reader Reviews:
Perhaps the best book on kernel hacking practicalities (5/5 people found this helpful)
Sometimes the style can be a little cheesy and Robert Love avoids many of the device driver issues that most wannabe kernel hackers will face, but as a general and practical introduction to the 2.6 series kernel I doubt this book will be surpassed. Love focuses on the big picture throughout and assumes some, but not too much, general knowledge of operating systems basics. If you want to become a kernel hacker then you need to buy and read this book - I came at all of this the other way round (wrote a device driver and then looked for more about the kernel) - but reading this first would have been better.
A good roundup. Recommended. (8/8 people found this helpful)
This should take the kernel novice and make them perhaps not a kernel expert, but at least strongly informed on the technical side of how to start hacking the kernel.
The book particularly focuses on some of the improvements in the 2.6 kernel, which is very welcome.
