What files are inside /dev/sdb1 ? I suspect there's a clutter of small inscrutiable files (bootloader stuff) and one great big file(disk image).

When the initrd crashes again, try cat /proc/filesystems to see what partition types your kernel really supports. Also try just running blkid to see what disks it thinks are really disks.
