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.
