Re: Interrupt Handling

[Bijoy Thomas <bijoyjth@xxxxxxx>]

try getting the book "Understanding the Linux Kernel" by Daniel Bovet & Marco Cesati. I believe they havnt released one for the 2.4 or 2.6 kernels. The ones available in market is based on the 2.2 kernel .. but its a very good book.

Cheers,
Bijoy Thomas.
