What kernel > clue are we talking about? Enough to know your way around the kernel, instrument code to see what is going on and do new code bits to fix potential problems etc etc, that kind of thing. In some cases having test HW around to see if there are physical interrupts delivered, if devices are really selected on the HW level etc, can be very handy as well.. Most importantly is to have lots of time and persistence though... -- -Søren
