I had already seek solution in:

How can I add the Memtest86+ options back to the Grub menu?

Memtest86+ options are missing in Grub menu

However, they still can't solve my problem...

what drives me crazy most is the command "update-grub" only shows like below, and memtest86 is missing:

Generating grub configuration file ...
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-35-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-35-generic
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-32-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-32-generic
Adding boot menu entry for EFI firmware configuration
Found memdisk: /boot/memdisk
Imagepath /boot/images not found
done

i tried manually execute /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86 and found it printed nothing.. but i think it should print some code so that it can modify grub.cfg, right?

it there anyone have solution?

thanks a lot!!

Memtest86+ does not work in UEFI mode because it is a 16-bit program. I think there is an alternate version of Memtest86 that will work in UEFI mode - but it is not open source (see www.memtest86.com/download.htm). Or you can switch to legacy boot mode and Memtest86+ will work and grub will run it.
