If you don't even see the USB hard disk when booting up, then it probably isn't formatted with GPT. Use --format on /dev/sdb. If it shows up but ends up booting another OS, then your EFI/boot/boot*.conf isn't updated, and you might have hit: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=533824 Let me know if the patch works. And as Peter's mentioned, if your device supports x86_64, you need an x86_64 image, and the same for 32-bit. Note that I'm not sure how those are generated, but you should be able to boot a 32-bit distro as long as you have a bootx64.conf and bootx64.efi in /EFI/boot on the USB key.
