basically, the kernel first initializes itself and then launch the INIT process ... Once this is done, all the kernel do is responding to interrupt requests, either from the hardware or from software (system calls).

If you need more in-details comprehensive explanations, i suggest "Linux Kernel Programming" book (check the 'book recommendation thread for the correct title :) )

If you have a more specific question feel free to ask, but your current question sounds much like "how do an human body work ?"
