[solved] kernel not visible in boot menu

Hi all. After some problems I had with the mainline kernel years ago (I can't remember which problems exactly) I switched to the LTS kernel. I now want to try the mainline kernel again. After installing it  with pacman and doing a "sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg"  was expecting to see it added in the grub menu along with the lts kernel that I still have installed. But I only see  opttions for 'linux' wihich boots the LTS kernel, advanced boot options, and memtestx86. I do see the the vmlinuz-linux besides vmlinuz-lts  in the /boot/grub/grub.config though.  I am booting using EFI on a separate boot partition.

What  can I do to fix this?

/boot/grub/grub.config

/etc/default:

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=2
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Arch"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=3 quiet splash tsc=unstable"
GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES="part_gpt part"
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu
GRUB_TERMINAL_INPUT=console
GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x800x32
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY=true

edit: Found it: the non-lts kernel was under the 'Advanced options for Arch Linux' menu item.
