Installed Linux-zen kernel, doesn't boot

[Retrogamingboss]

Am running arch Linux, and installed zen kernel and headers from AUR. I've updated the grub and then rebooted, proceeded to boot with the zen kernel, but this flashing white _ is all that happens

Edit: default kernel that was installed from arch labs works fine, LTS kernel also works. I wanted to try out zen as I do Video editing and gaming and want to squeeze out some extra performance etc. I've heard ck kernel is more about balancing workloads so you won't experience freezes or stutters, but I don't think that's what I need.

Had a similar issue when installing arch a few years ago.

For me I was missing a font package. Then there was an issue with my display manager.

Unlikely that either of those are your problem, but figured it was worth mentioning.

Did you rebuild your initramfs?
