for the first case, most likely your USB hard drive is not /dev/block/ sdb, to use it to install Android on your system, kill the /system/bin/ installer process and run '/system/bin/installer -p /dev/block/ WHAT_YOUR_HARDDRIVE_IS2' (e.g., my USB stick is sdd, I use /dev/block/ sdd2)
for the second case, I think what you guessed is right. To be sure of it, if you got ethernet, 'adb logcat' could help you. To build required modules, you may wanna read 'vendor/asus/eee_701/modules/ module.versions', check out android-2.6.25 kernel, and start from 'vendor/asus/eee_701/kernel.config'.
