    My kernel looks like vmlinuz-5.4.97-gentoo and it I think it should be: vmlinuz-5.4.97-gentoo-x86_64

    im pretty sure this is the problem because after i select the option on grub im stuck on the next screen that says its loading the kernel commands
    but im pretty sure ive run into this problem before and i need to generate the config so that it says x86_64 on the end i just dont remember how

    Does it say it's loading the kernel commands, or just that it's loading
    the kernel?

    The name of the kernel file is essentially arbitraty, although there
    are certainly conventions. What is important is that grub knows the
    correct name to use.

    For starts, how are you generating the kernel, and did you run
    grub-mkconfig after building the new kernel?

    Have you tried renaming the file manually to see if it makes a difference?

    The name of the kernel file is essentially arbitraty, although there
    are certainly conventions. What is important is that grub knows the correct name to use.

    AFAIR, grub-mkconfig looks for files named vmlinuz-version, so while it
    is not arbitrary when auto-generating the GRUB config, the name here
    should be fine.

    I suspect the issue is with either the contents of the kernel or the
    parameters you pass it, rather than the suffix of the file name.

    0 and 1. Now what could be so hard about that?
