How to debug a kernel?

I'm still some kind of programming newbie but this is a question that
struck me, while debugging my own little programs. How do you kernel
hackers debug the kernel. You can't just load it into a debugger, or can
you?

BTW: Are there any online rousource that explain how the kerel internals
work? I would like to understand how the kernel works but the source is
rather big and I don't know where to start.

Regards
Martin
