[SOLVED]Trouble when installing with systemd-boot

I'm installing arch, and I'm having trouble configuring systemd-boot. It seems fine, but when i try reboot, i only have "reboot into firmware interface" as an option.

I followed the official install guide(https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_Guide) and the lvm on luks guide(https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dm-crypt/Encrypting_an_entire_system#LVM_on_LUKS).

# ls
EFI initramfs-linux-fallback.img initramfs-linux.img loader vmlinuz-linux

# cat /loader/loader.conf
timeout 3
default arch
console-node max
editor yes

# cat ./loader/entries/arch.conf
title Arch Linux
linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux
initrd /boot/initramfs-linux.img
options rd.luks.name=Bcb4d5d8-e7b4-4cc4-9eb0-61baa29a1b72=cryptlvm root=/dev/volgroup0/root rw
options resume=/dev/volgroup0/swap

Because the kernel does not exist at that location. Remember, the paths are relative to the root of the ESP, so if you're mount that to /boot, it would be looking for the kernel at /boot/boot/vmlinuz-linux.
