How to build and flash Pixel 8 platform and kernel

I am a complete newbie to AOSP and I'm having trouble building and flashing android kernel for Pixel 8.

I've been trying to follow Building Pixel Kernels instructions, but I'm experiencing some issues. I think my problem is that I don't know which platform manifest branch to use with which kernel manifest branch.

• When I try to flash the device using flash.android.com, there are no instructions on which platform and kernel combination is supported for Pixel 8 device (there's a table but it only has information regarding Pixel 6). I tried flashing git-aosp-main-with-phones, but after flashing the kernel, Pixel 8 will not boot correctly. I built the kernel by repo init & sync -ing android-gs-shusky-5.15-android14-d1 branch from android kernel manifest. I followed the guide from the same instructions mentioned above for fetching kernel source, building it, and flashing it. But the device only displays android logo and after a few minutes, kernel panics.
• I decided to try fetching and building the platform myself, and I tried following combinations:
  • platform manifest android-14.0.0_r27 and kernel manifest android-gs-shusky-5.15-android14-d1
    • results: kernel panics after a couple of minutes
  • platform manifest android-14.0.0_r6 and kernel manifest android-gs-shusky-5.15-android14-qpr1
    • results: kernel doesn't panic, but Pixel 8 displays Google logo and doesn't proceed

If someone could point me to a working platform and kernel combination for Pixel 8, (or if I'm doing something else wrong) it would be extremely helpful!
