Ok, reinventing the wheel is a bit to far to go in one step, so I suggest a new plan, lets do it microsoft way, start from the front and work backwards.
start with written a ruby based shell, then go backwards to the interpreter then back again to the kernel, this will keep things simple to start with and then give us a background on how we want the other things to function.

THE PLAN.... Reinvent the wheel [ reply ]

I think the best way forward is to make this a server OS, to use Ruby at the heart and have Ruby based server apps as modules that are added and enabled via a web interface to save on resources.
The first thing required is a boot loader, will need to be written in assembly.
Next is a kernel, this will need to be able to read the disks and use devices such as network cards
next we need a ruby interpreter and to call the manager
next is a process and memory manager written in ruby to handle multitasking and swap
next will be a shell, web server and whatever else we think of when we get that far :)
Please feel free to comment and make suggestions, this is only a rough plan just to get started
