I think it's great that you're starting to learn how to work with the
kernel. You had a question earlier about x86 vs. amd64 support and the
answer is that the kernel supports both architectures depending on how
it's configured. There's a lot of information out there to help folks
get started building kernels and a great one to start with is Linux
Kernel Newbies [1]. If you have questions or get stuck on the actual
build process you may want to try using their mailing list or IRC
channel.

The Gentoo handbook [2] is also a great resource. It's written with
running Gentoo in mind but the build process that it goes over is
somewhat applicable to generic kernels as well.
