Not me, but let us try to help:

This sanity check is unfortunmatey absolutely necessary on some machines.

What do you mean (privately if you prefer and, a wild guess from your
e-mail address and name, even in french if you find it easier).

That device is the problem. On most MB, bus 0 device 0 corresponds to the
host bridge: you don't have a very common chipset (Intel or whatever).
These register addresses are obviously bogus, except perhaps the first
one. If you have downloaded the pciutils package, please use lspci -vvx,
else use:
od -tx1 -Ax /proc/bus/pci/00/00.0
under 2.1.1xx, and send back the result.
All the other devices look ok.
Regards,
Gabriel.
