If you start from scratch, master your C and at least some assembler programming in your platform of choice, as it will be needed for some of the startup code.

As for books, I studied on the Silberschatz / Gagne / Galvin Operating Systems Concepts. It is a monster doorstopper of a book and it costs a kidney but it's worth it.

If you start practicing on some embedded stuff with ARM you should be able to see the lowest level of controlling the CPU without much overhead, in this day and age it's definitely simpler than trying to wrestle with full kernels like Linux and it's not expensive.
