  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:

  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.

  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.
