is there any way to test a newly compiled kernel without rebooting

so im trying to compile a kernel for a risc-v machine, and everytime i do the only way to test is to load the kernel and reboot, it has failed repeatedly on reboot, so i have to load the sd card with a working version of the os and reflash it back to the nvme drive. just wondering is there some way to test a kernel without a full system reboot that i am unaware of.
