Some good tutorials can be found at http://www.osdever.net/tutorials/index - these are generally more hands-on than academic textbooks. Also, feel free to have a look at http://flick.cvs.sourceforge.net/flick/src/, my attempt at writing an OS (long time ago, now); the code is clear enough to give you a rough idea on how to get started.
