[SOLVED] where to start?

I got the kernel source version on 3.0.1
and I want to see source code in some file named head.s

uname -a
Linux ubuntu 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:50 UTC 2011 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

where can i find head.s for i386?

mei@ubuntu:~/Downloads/linux-3.0.1/arch$ ls
alpha cris Kconfig mips s390 tile xtensa
arm frv m32r mn10300 score um
avr32 h8300 m68k parisc sh unicore32
blackfin ia64 microblaze powerpc sparc x86

'head.s' is a misspell. Filenames are head.S, head_32.S, head_64.S .

find linux-3.0.1/ -name "head.S"
will show the 29 files by name head.S

find linux-3.0.1/ -name "head*" : all files with 'head'.
May be you are looking for ./arch/sh/kernel/head_32.S ?
Or : ./arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S ?

I am not sure what I am looking for because there is too much head.S files. I just want to find the kernel start code and init code. and I don't know what is meaning for "arch/sh" directory, I hope I can find some hints for these kernel directories from www.
