If you already have a CS background, and know about operating systems in general, good enough. Else first thing you should do is get your basics right. My personal recommendation is "Operating Systems: Design and Implementation" by William Stallings. Some people also refer to "Modern Operating Systems" by Andrew Tanenbaum, but I didn't find it so good.
For the Linux kernel itself, try http://www.kernelnewbies.org/ for a start. Good guides are also available on the Linux Documentation Project http://www.tldp.org/
