Besides the sources already mentioned, there are a couple of quite good books. I know at least Robert Love's Linus Kernel Development, by O'Reilly, Rubini et. al. Linux Device Drivers, and Mel Gorman's about Virtual Memory, whose exact name I can't recall. You can also try to start following LKML's flow. Maybe you won't understand much in the beginning, but your comprehension on the discussions will improve in the future.
