My book does not talk about "kernel workings" (which would be an
entire book of its own), but it covers pretty much all aspects of
Debian kernel handling: what the different kernel-* packages are
(starting with 2.6.12, that's linux-*!), when and why they are
needed, how they are supposed to be used, and it shows how to use
make-kpkg to create Debian kernel images, apply kernel patches, and
create modules for existing kernels. Finally, it explains Debian's
approach to modules and how module-assistant makes an
administrator's (and maintainer's life) much easier.
So yeah, if you already know how to compile kernels and you are
looking for the Debian Way, you'll find answers in my book.
