Well, I suppose if you've come as far as half-writing a simple kernel, I would suggest you study the Unix Operating System. I am sure you have either considered this or have done it as a part of some formal course or the other. The code for Linuxes is open source, it is written in C and Assembly, you can take it apart for yourself and see how it works. The linux kernel mailing list archives is a good starting point (but please read their guidelines before you post anything there! it's a strictly dev-only list). Or just install a linux distro and start hacking the kernel. Google a few keywords for more information.

Hope this helps.
Cheers!
