I think it's great that you're starting to learn how to work with the kernel. You had a question earlier about x86 vs. amd64 support and the answer is that the kernel supports both architectures depending on how it's configured. There's a lot of information out there to help folks get started building kernels and a great one to start with is Linux Kernel Newbies [1]. If you have questions or get stuck on the actual build process you may want to try using their mailing list or IRC channel. [1]: http://kernelnewbies.org/ The Gentoo handbook [2] is also a great resource. It's written with running Gentoo in mind but the build process that it goes over is somewhat applicable to generic kernels as well.
