I'm making a *swag* on this. I'll bet your 'sdb' is called 'sdb1' or has
a uuid given to it by the Ubuntu kernel. Open a terminal in Ubuntu and
run `dmesg` (You can pipe to `grep` and search for sdb if you don't want
to read the whole thing.) Find where the Ubuntu kernel recognizes and
mounts sdb and see what it's called. Then you can edit all the stuff in
your LFS to reflect that--fstab, udev, etc.

no, it isnt, i checked. everything is mounted as sdb, without a
partition number (i have checked dmesg and df, both give the same answer)

You have configured grub incorrectly, albeit inadvertently.
When you boot from your hard drive, that drive will be /dev/sda, forcing
the
USB drive to be /dev/sdb. However, when you boot from the USB stick, *it*
is /dev/sda and the hard drive will be /dev/sdb.
So change your LFS to point to /dev/sda and it should work.

I had forgotten about that :/
Just re-installed GRUB with that in mind, but im still getting a panic.
(see below for more info)

If someone on IRC advised you to stick your finger in a fire, would you
do it?

OF COURSE!!!! (jk)
I am new to all this (this is my first build), so im taking advice from
wherever i can get it.
Also, i have noticed something:
i have been mounting my drive as ext2, however the kernal dosn't seem to
try to use ext2 to load the fs. I'm going to have a fiddle around with
my partitions to see if i can get them to work, but in th meantime, here
is what the kernal is saying when it has it's humph:
List of all partitions:
0800 321571224 sda driver: sd
0801 1228800 sda1
0802 211340376 sda2
0b00 1048575 sr0 driver: sr
