I have got a kernel using this command:-
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git

I can find only 1st and 2nd editions of Understanding Linux Kernel on
the web. I can't find the 3rd. I am not sure whether the 1st and 2nd

Hi,
I have knowledge of assembly language. I am good at C programming. I
have learnt to write "hello world" type of kernel modules using
printk() statements. I know nothing else about kernel programming. I

I am about to modify kernel and do some work on it for the sake of
