systemd-boot only shows Windows?

hey there, it seems that my fresh install of Arch has a primary issue of it not wanting to boot,

after installing it as-per the wiki installation guide,

bootctl install

seems to have gone fine, but rebooting into it only shows me the option to go into the BIOS firmware.

I also have Windows 10 installed, after restoring its bootloader using bcdboot from a Ventoy (note: the same Ventoy was also used to install Arch) and running

bootctl update

it now also shows Windows 10 as a boot option. Ironic that it can boot Windows but not Arch.

What can be done in the matter?

Thanks in advance!

well, I forgot I was using the LTS kernel. now my issue is that the loading process gets stuck on the "waiting for drive-by-uuid" step, which times out and doesn't even drop me into emergency mode, claiming the root account is locked, and hangs.
