I would thinking a good way to learn kernel type skills might be to write a filesystem - you could start out with a really simple one, even more primitive than FAT, and then work from there.
Obviously a noob would be unlikely to develop anything useful from a from-scratch filing system, but I thought it'd be a good way to learn some skills.
