I can't speak to the rest of the problems, but this actually *IS*
descriptive.  The driver is reporting in pseudo-English just what
the drive has just reported, namely that there was an internal
error on the embedded controller that could be recovered from.

In other words, a command failed with check condition status, and
the primary sense code was 4 (Unrecoverable device error), with
an additional sense code value of 0x44 (Internal controller error).

The driver is passing on to you as much info as it got from the drive.
It doesn't sound like this error is related to jumper settings, but it
is possible.

These (or similar) wordings are found in the request sense descriptions
in most scsi device manuals.

Life would be so much easier if we could just look at the source code.
