Problems wtih padmin password reset for IVM

So I am trying to reset the padmin password for one of our IBM virtualized servers.

I have the install media in place, and have restarted the blade and set the CDROM to be the boot/install device, but when I try to boot into any mode I get the splash screen, then the "No Operating Systems Installed" message

Any suggestions on what is happening?

I did assign the media tray to the particular blade via the management module prior to trying the boot up

Since the installation media consists of a DVD that was burned from the installation software that was downloaded from IBM, I am wondering if there might be an issue with how the DVD was burned (I handle this kind of thing remotely).

I'll have the DVD re-created and try again

check if the DVD is bootable using MagicISO.
