Sorry, have not been able to ssh into the box so the pic was best I could do.
I was able to install Debian and things are working great. From what little I was able to find re this server (that is like 100 years old in an IT sense) it has some kind of driver conflict per this gentleman:

suse linux 12.2 fail no video driver
ubuntu 12.10 fail no grub fatal error
slackware? no idea what the problem was
linux mint 14.1 no video driver
debian 6.0 works but logging into root is a pain in the ass.
centos 6.3 works great with extra features like firewall etc smooth fast.

I get the feeling that this dino of a server doesn't play well with Scientific Linux. I didn't try centos, but Debian is working great.
Thanks for trying, I've moved on since the box is now up and I am able to start using it to do some analytic research. Thanks!!!
