The "unknown PCI device" messages simply mean the devices aren't listed in
the table in drivers/pci/pci.c. According to the MAINTAINERS file listed
with the kernel sources, Jens Maurer <jmaurer@cck.uni-kl.de> is in charge
of that. Send him the results of "cat /proc/pci" and (hopefully) he'll
make the messages go away.
