I'm not sure how to put this. When I added the "linux-yocto" to
RDEPENDS_task* I was able to get the kernel image in the rootfs image
(ext3 image). But on the next compilation (i mean when I did $ bitbake
custom-image again) it complained dependency failed for task-*. So, I
ended up removing the line from RDEPENDS_task* but the final rootfs
image retained the kernel file in it.

I am in a confusion of which one to blame. I guess, the only way to
rebuild the tasks for custom-image is to remove tmp and sstate-cache
directories and build again.

        $ bitbake -c clean task-*
        $ bitbake -c clean custom-image    
        
The above commands doesn't completely re-build the tasks listed for
custom-image. So, I guess the problem still exists.
