some of you should remember the first edition of my online kernel programming course for beginners. i decided it was time to update it completely and rework a few topics, so here's the first part of the new and improved course: http://crashcourse.ca/introduction-linux-kernel-programming-2nd-edition/introduction-linux-kernel-programming-2nd-edition DISCLAIMER: as with the first edition, the *full* course will require a subscription, but the first several lessons will be entirely free and will, at the very least, guide a beginner through configuring and building a new kernel, rebooting to that new kernel, and writing their first loadable kernel module (LKM). feel free to play along -- every lesson has a comments section where you can ask questions or make suggestions. i'm guessing that the first 5 or 6 lessons will be publicly available, after which it will get into subscriber-only material. but until then, everyone's welcome to follow along and write and run their first kernel module. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
