Robert Loves' "Linux Kernel Development" is my favorite for getting an overview of kernel and its mechanisms "Essential Linux Device Drivers" from Sreekrishnan Venkateswaran is a good book for learning about driver development, though i'd recommend to read "Linux Kernel Development" or LDD3 first finally there is "Understanding the Linux Kernel" by Daniel P.
