Add 'virtual/kernel' to DEPENDS in image.bbclass so that the kernel
can get built by default. Otherwise, the kernel will not get built
unless it's required by other packages like v86d. As a result, if
we build 'core-image-minimal' for qemumips, the kernel is not built,
and we have 'bitbake linux-yocto' before we can use runqemu to start
the target.

If I have a board without modules there's no need to have the depends.
Why you need this?

The first quenstion in my mind when I read the post:

Odd...wasn't core-image-minimal purposedly lean, mutilated and without
kernel modules ?
(Not that really 'used' it, just booted 'cause was small and could
always fit on nand/nor)

What I want to do here is to trigger building of kernel when building out an image. I'm not proposing to make all images have kernel -modules installed.

It has always been like this: if one needs the kernel and the modules
can add that in his machine.conf.

Previously, the kernel is built out by default because packagegroup-core-boot has a dependency on it. Now the dependency is gone.

I'm not talking about installing kernel modules onto images.

For more demanding tasks, the next logical step is core-image-base.


My 2 cents
