Any pointers on this will be really helpful. 

As a real newbie myself, what I've read on multiple sources is:
Do the eudyptula challenge. And that's what I'm doing right now, plus a 
bunch of reading on kernel devel and the linux kernel in general. The books 
recommended by the community are usually Linux Kernel Development 3rd 
Edition by Robert Love (usually called LKD3) and Linux Kernel in a Nutshell 
by Greg KH.

This alone will bring your game up to speed about kernel development and 
knowing how the kernel works.

There is a really good recent email from Robert P. J. Day with some good 
pointers also about reading the documentations. You can see this email here:

You can search the entire database of the kernelnewbies mailing list using 
various sources. Just google "kernelnewbies mailing list archive" and pick 
your preferred method.
