RE: Get hands on starting in this world.

[Yan, Noah]

Vda,

I want to start digging into how OS is architected and built, from initail booting till final resource management, I got more theroy than practice in this world.  I may more focus on computation management in distributed OS, cluster, Grid, P2P later. 

Somebody has such focus?

Thanks
Noah

How to start _what_? What do you want to do?

No, I don't have that info for Linux 2.2.x kernels.
They are vaguely similar, but many details won't be the same. :)

Why are you focusing on 2.2?

It is a good stuff. Is there much difference between 2.2.x and 2.4.x in the kernel initialization. You know, I am now starting on 2.2.x. Or do you have it for 2.2.x. 

Thanks
Noah

Hi-

As long as you don't mind an x86-leaning view of Linux boot/init,
you could begin by looking over this:  http://home.att.net/~rddunlap/
(or at:  http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Linux-Init-HOWTO.html).

And there's lots of intro material at:  http://kernelnewbies.org/

Hi-

As long as you don't mind an x86-leaning view of Linux boot/init,
you could begin by looking over this:  http://home.att.net/~rddunlap/

Get hands on starting in this world.

[Yan, Noah]

All,

I am a new comer to the Linux world. It is really a hard start for me when I dig into those OS code although I have a strong theoretic background in OS and computer architecture. I am now being blocking at the start_kernel and caliberate_delay function of Kernel 2.2.x. Also, everyday, I got hundreds of mail from Linux-kernel list but I cannot enjoy it.

So could some experienced guys give some advice on how to start, which document/material can be recommended on this.

My keen interest in this filed make me free to any suggestions on that. Please lend your hands
