Grub does not find other distros /Linux Mint

[Kenneth Wrede]

Running Xubuntu 13.10 Beta (Saucy) booting with Grub2 on my first boot disc. (sdb)

I have also installed Linux Mint (Olivia/Raring) on another disk (sdc), and have been running update-grub on Xubuntu. It only finds the Xubuntu dist. But I expect Grub to find all distros and list them as boot allternatives. Thats one of the main points with Grub.

I can't find any related logfile or settings. If there is, they must be more clearly pointed out. I have checked at this places:
/etc/default/grub
/etc/grub.d/
/var/log/*
/boot/*

Don't hesitate to ask if I have missed something.

The motherboard is a ASUS "M5A99FX PRO R2.0" with UEFI, if it matter.

A workaround is hardware dependent. Pres F8 during initial boot and the UEFI-bootmenu shows up. From there I can boot anything.
