Analyzing the minimization output (the frames i obtained after the minimization), I realized that the 2 atoms involved in the previous error message belonged to the ligands and were not restrained during the minimization. Thus I changed this part in the minimization.in file:
Initial minimisation PknG-Adenine complex: minimization solvent + ions
 &cntrl
  imin=1,
  maxcyc=1000,
  ntb=1,
  ntr=1,
  cut=10,
  restraint_wt = 10.0,
  restraintmask=':1-246.CA,C,O,N | .3834-3848',
  ntpr=1, ntwx=1, ntwr=100
Atoms from 3834 to 3848 are ligand's atoms (with H atoms).
I analyzed the output frames and  the ligand was much more stable then before. 
(The energy was flat and no overlaps were detected).
This structure was used as strating point for a short MD (to relax solvent molecules):
15ps MD PknG-Adenine complex: restraints on PknG-Ade residues while the solvent is leeting free
 to relax
 &cntrl
  imin=0,
  irest=0,
  ntx=1,
  ig=-1,
  ntb=1,
  ntr=1,
  cut=10,
  ntc=2,
  ntf=2,
  tempi=300.0,
  temp0=300.0,
  ntt=3,
  gamma_ln=5.0,
  nstlim=15000, dt=0.001,
  ntpr=1, ntwx=1, ntwr=1000
  restraint_wt = 10.0,
  restraintmask=':1-246.CA,C,O,N | .3834-3848'
 /
Sander stopped again at the begining:
vlimit exceeded for step      1; vmax =    82.0601
     Coordinate resetting (SHAKE) cannot be accomplished,
     deviation is too large
     NITER, NIT, LL, I and J are :      0      3   1923   3841   3848
     Note: This is usually a symptom of some deeper
     problem with the energetics of the system.
If I restrained all ligand's atoms, why atoms 3841 and 3848 are still causing a problem?
Analizing the output file i saw a message related to the charge of the whole system:
     Sum of charges from parm topology file =   0.00099988
     Forcing neutrality...
Could it be a cause of my problem?
I ran the MD as:
sander -O -i PknGAde-wt-md.in -o PknGAde-wt-md.out -p ../PknGAde_params/PknGHAdeH_ion_wt.prmtop -c PknGAde-wt-min.rst -r PknGAde-wt-md.rst -ref PknGAde-wt-min.rst -x PknGAde-wt-md.mdcrd &
Thus the set of initial coord and the ref coord are the same (both are the minimized structure), is it correct?

Whenever I've used checkoverlaps before the report gets printed to
stdout...
