Start with building a custom kernel from www.kernel.org, going through the options (zillions). Then try patching it with device drivers from hardware vendors, where the driver is not in the official kernel. Test your custom kernel with the driver. Much of the above is moot because the distributions do a fantastic job in patching the official kernel to make our job easier! But ... it will give you a feel for the complexities.
