Installing another kernel (Nvidia)

hey guys, i have seen that when i install another kernel i get "headers" with it, since i have Nvidia GPU do i have to do something else to make it work?
i tried to install linux-xanmod-cacule and linux-cacule but they wont go pass the kernel loading screen.

i have nvidia-dkms and dkms ... i have run sudo dkms install nvidia/495.44 -k 5.14.16-xanmod1-cacule-1 and got Module nvidia/495.44 already installed on kernel 5.14.16-xanmod1-cacule-1 (x86_64). but still it gets stuck at the flashing "_" with black screen...

i know that the linux-xanmod-cacule-headers already runs the script, i couldn't find anything else that could help me online

i fixed it, i don't think i will be using the kernel installer anymore... i reinstalled linux-xanmod-cacule then linux-xanmod-cacule-headers saw the dkms skript running and now it got past the flashing "_"

I don't know if it's a bug, but no matter which kernel i installed using Garuda manager > Kernel didn't boot
