dell t7400 not booting unless manually specifying boot drive [SOLVED]

When I boot my dell normally it loads the SAS controller, searches for devices at HBA 0, says MPT boot ROM succesfully installed. There it stops and doesnt do anything.

If I restart and press F12 to choose the boot device and I select my hdd at SATA0 linux starts normally. For obvious reasons I would like it to do this automatically.

There is no option in the bios to change the boot order.

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Also if it's relevant I've installed ubuntu and the hdd's are in a LVM configuration

EDIT
Boot repair has solved the problem!
Not sure what caused it and why it behaved like it did but running the boot-repai utility and reinstalling grub has solved my problem. Boots to ubuntu just fine now!
