To compile a kernel you'll first have to answer quite a few questions
about your system and what you'll be using it for. These questions
you'll have to research yourself. Other than that there are quite a few
comprehensive kernel docs on the web:
For a good starting place to 'get serious' about kernel hacking goto:
http://kernelnewbies.org/
They have links to such things as "how do i..."
http://kernelnewbies.org/faq/index.php3#compile
You might take good notes on what you learn and think about giving a
talk at an hlug meeting as they say on their site: "<writing
documentation> Sounds boring ? Maybe, but you'll be doing everybody a
favour, not least yourself. Forcing yourself to explain things
crystalises your own understanding. Documentation of behaviour requires
you to understand code. You'll find code a lot easier to read if you are
directed to answering a specific question. Write articles for
kernelnewbies and get them peer-reviewed in the IRC channel. Identify
inaccuracies in the current man-pages, and fix them. Add source docs to
the kernel source."
