How can I create a seperete systemd-boot entry for my custom kernal
Hello I am trying to get Anbox working on Arch Linux, according to the wiki page for Anbox it said on kernel 5.7.0 you need to enable some kernel options and I followed the Kernel/Arch Build System, I have done everything but I am not sure how to create a seperete bootloader entry for this custom kernel so I can boot from it. If anyone can assist me with this. Thank you.

Which bootloader are you using?

You do it exactly the same way you created the other entries.

Here is how my default entry looks like:
title Arch Linux
linux /vmlinuz-linux
initrd /amd-ucode.img
initrd /initramfs-linux.img
options cryptdevice=UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:luks:allow-discards root=/dev/mapper/luks rootflags=subvol=@ rd.luks.options=discard rw
I am not sure how do I add the custom linux file like by def I have the vmlinuz-linux

Created that file in /boot/loader/entries/entryname.conf during install...

So you should have some idea what those things are, and making another one trivial.
What kernel file are you trying to boot? What initramfs? etc.

Yes exactly I know that but I don't seem to have any other initramfs or linux images there other then these default ones. I am assuming maybe thats because the compilation/installation of this custom kernel messed up or they should be generated some way(ignore my ingorance please i dont know much about this)
