Kernel Projects for Linux

I would suggest looking at kernelnewbies.org and some mailing lists for ideas on new projects. Also "Writing Linux Device Drivers" which is available free of cost in pdf format is a good book.

I HATE THIS BOOK
I spend a lot of time to read the book
but it let me so frustration and feel like a oaf!

for example the chap five, p 111

this kind of book should use ready-to-run short examples to
tell the reader what the hell inside the computer memoey
and how the cpu begins their life whenever power-on!

I liked it, but...
This was actually quite an interesting book. I found the assignments interesting, and challenging yet able to be completed for the most part.

Now we come to the problem. When you are asked to answer a question in an assignment, and you contact the author of the book and the "creators" of Linux who both agree the question can not be answered as asked, we get into a bit of weirdness.

Even the author says the "official" solution to some of the problems in the book are done in exactly the way he requests them not to be done in the book, simply because it is impossible to solve the problem in Linux as asked.

So, if you're looking for something that makes you think about ways to accomplish assigned tasks, this is a good book. If you want a book without errors and having all questions capable of being answered as asked, this is not as good of a book.
Therefore I give it 3 stars, to put it right in the middle.

flat out horrible
hate it. i'm a computer science senior. even though i myself don't use a linux box you'd think i should be able to work with one... and i bet i can but this book is NO help. there are obvious errors which just send you in frustrating circles until you figure out that the author is just wrong. it's horribly written and impossible to understand. some might argue that it's not an introductory book. fine i'll give you that if you want to subject yourself to this confusion. but for an operating systems class it's a horrible way to learn. you'll lose more hair than you will gain knowledge (if you manage to gain any at all). i think i've said enough, you get where i'm coming from. looking at the other reviews you either love or hate this book. i hate it.

What happened to the editor?
This book is disgustingly unedited. Whatever happened to the concept of editing a book before publishing it? This book has caused nothing but headaches for me.
