That error is related to the hard disk. Either it is malfunctioning (did you drop it or applied pressure on it while replacing the boards?) or it is disconnected (recheck the connections).
The OLD machine with the OLD nvram (the little board) with the NEW mainboard should work just fine, from what you've described to us.

My thoughts too...
Hard disk may be at fault. Disabling the disk in tech rep mode may confirm it is the drive or not. Formatting the disk "might" fix the problem, and if not, any laptop IDE disk drive will work...though I do not recommend a high volume one...more than 200G....mainly because you will most certainly never come close to using up the space. I think these originally sported 40G drives...
As an aside about the NVRAM, that should stay with the machine it originated with. KM has issues about mixing and matching these up with other machines...it is a bit similar to issues surrounding resetting the odometer of a car.

I will not answer requests or questions there.
Please ask in the KM forum for the benefit of others to see the question and give their input.
I've seen your original fault loads of times; flashing the machine and doing a NIC recovery has cured the problem every single time, it would have been far easier to have got a tech in to do this in the first place...

Thanks everyone for your contributions. I removed and remade the connections this morning and the machine now seems to be running fine with the new pcb and the old nvram board so my original page count remains valid. I've not tried networking the machine but the network light is on so I'm not anticipating any problems.
I wanted an engineer to visit and resolve the issue but two visited me and charged me £150 each and none proposed the solutions (nic recovery) you recommended but did say I needed a new pcb. One company wanted £800 and the other £1500! That would have been a huge outlay relative to what I paid for the machine.
This is really an excellent forum and I apologise for leaning on your goodwill but your collective efforts are much appreciated.
Many thanks
Good to know. Thanks for your feedback!
