pi zero won't boot

[MegaArman]

haven't been able to boot a pi zero using the image:
2021-05-07-realtimepi-buster-armhf-lite-0.5.0.img
obtained from the mirror

Should I be using a different image?

You can try test the nightly one too.
What error are you getting?

Finally got a chance to try a nightly, but also wouldn't boot. The image mentioned above just stays on the rainbow screen, however the nightly gets me to a black screen with no text and doesn't seem to respond to keyboard input.

looking at https://github.com/kdoren/linux/releases, it looks like the builds are armv7+ which means they will not work on armv6 devices such as the zero. I am not sure how to fix that other than building the kernel myself, which I stopped doing last release.
