[SOLVED] Systemd-boot no loader found, conf files are needed. LVM/LUKS

I'm in the middle of an Arch installation and currently hung up on systemd-boot giving an error message: No Loader Found. .conf files are needed. I have an existing configuration file arch.conf in /boot/loader/. It's as follows.

title Arch Linux
linux /vmlinuz-linux
initrd /initramfs-linux.img
options cryptdevice=UUID=a966cdc5-8a39-4df1-b32e-10632c2dc061:lvm root=/dev/mapper/lvm-rootvol rw

The UUID is pointing to /dev/sda2 where the lvm partition exists, and where the /boot mountpoint is. I ran mkinitcpio -p linux with the added hooks 'encrypt' and 'lvm2' in mkinitcpio.conf. I could use some insight as to what I need to do to fix this issue and get my arch installation running.

EDIT: I've been working on this for too long. I had my arch.conf in the wrong directory. I moved it to /boot/loader/entries and all is well.
