Description:
upgrading systemd* from 244.3-1 to 245-3
cause do not working systemd-boot.
Unfortunately I do not know how to give you more information, but I am here to help...

Additional info:
* systemd-sysvcompat (245-3 => 244.3-1)
* systemd (245-3 => 244.3-1)
* systemd-libs (245-3 => 244.3-1)

Steps to reproduce:
systemd* 244.3-1 boots from systemd-boot
upgrade to latest (245-3) systemd*
reboot
systemd-boot is no more working
(in my case, I have a grub .efi as emergency loader, which is used, so I boot the machine using that)
This task depends upon

You can start by explaining what you actually see. "can't boot" and "not working" are useless.

the machine silently uses grub.efi bootloader, so I do not see anything.

I am here to help "debugging" this issue but I do not know how...

So it's not that systemd-boot is failing, it's simply that it's not being used. That's an installation/configuration issue.

I can't exclude that possibility; anyway, I tend to believe in an issue since I have just upgraded (official) systemd packages and executed `bootctl update`.
Unfortunately at the moment I can't try to remove grub .efi bootloader because I do not have any other medium from which recover the machine

So check the boot entries and order
