The "init line7... /dev/sdb" part of the error message appeared on a Ubuntu 12.04.2 64 bit 2G install media created on a 32 bit Ubunti 12.04 up to date system. Startup disk creator was used, the iso was md5sumed and sha1sumed with no errors. The "try" action was requested and the message was repeating under the cycling dots (made visible with an ESC). Performing the drastic and potentially descructive "pull media/reinsert media", the boot then continued successfully. I then successfully installed to an 8G USB, but it would not boot, not even getting to grub -- even after making the disk/device corrections (bug 384633). I reinstalled grub using the 32 bit system onto the 8G 64 bit stick, and then the boot got to the grub screen. From there, the devices/disks could be edited again, but results were mixed, apparently because sda is not necessarily the hard disk anymore. The usual fix for grub after a manual change is to run update-grub, but if the disks are lettered wrong (hard disk sdb, 8G USB sda), the update will still be wrong. *** Looks like the 3.5+ kernels are (sometimes) redefining the disk order, which is NOT compatible with what grub sees/expects. Similar issues with 12.10, with the first grub.cfg created with the USB on sda instead of the expected sdc (bug 384633). Again, much manual corrections of the wrong devices eventually got a booting stick, but haven't done much with 12.10.
