For working with the internals, specifically driver-side stuff and the
mechanisms you need to write drivers, this book is really good (and
free):
http://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3/
I'm also fond of this book which complements LDD3 nicely (it talks
about the scheduler, memory management, and a lot of other non-driver
stuff which LDD3 purposefully omits):

It's not free though.

After reading/skimming "essentials" and "kernel drivers", my favourite
way is to use Code::Blocks, make an empty project and then recursively
import all the kernel sources into it.
It is big pile of source and import takes a few minutes, but being able
to browse, search and jump effotlessly through the tree more than makes
it wortwhile.
Caveat: C::B will crash during the import phase if during that time
there is other program that significantly loads CPUs or if user
generates gtk events by clicking on the program window.
I suspect the cause for this in wxGTK, but haven't been able to pinpoint
it. It's good enough for me at this time...
