Hi,
First of all, sorry if this e-mail is taking your time out. I'm a
computer science student. I love GNU/Linux and I've been using Gentoo
for a long time.
Now, I am starting to read linux kernel, but it is so big that I
cannot understand lots of things. I'd like to know if there is a
website or something that can introduce me into the kernel internals.
Maybe long time ago I could have understood it, but today it's so big...
Thank you very much, and my apologies for this e-mail.
Start with head.S in /arch/i386 and follow the code from there.
That's where everything begins.
Jeff

You might try reading the following books:
http://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3/
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0672327201/103-6781097-8768660?v=glance

(this last one is based on 2.4)

Not sure what kernel you're using, but in 2.6.13 here it's
in /arch/i386/kernel/head.S
(nothing find couldn't handle but)
