I picked up this book in a bookstore years ago, still have it on my shelf.
The Linux Core Kernel Commentary [1]
It takes only the parts of the kernel you need to understand, leaving out the drivers, device classes, and much of te ancillary pieces. For the parts it chooses, it goes through them line by line and follows the boot process, explains the concepts of a Unix and SYSV-like kernel.
