Hi .. (2.6 Series kernels +)

I need some info on how to start threads in the kernel space.I appreciate any amount of help .. i crashed my kernel thrice after playing around with kernel_thread() .. google("kernel threads") returned -1 and exited with UNKNOWN Status ..

can some one explain me or point me to resource ?
Its unfortunate that there is no proper documentation on this topic in the internet .

Thx in advance
