For the third time in this thread: GRUB reacts by shrugging its
shoulders and booting whatever the linux and initrd say. If they
are not sensible you can forget about booting. You can judge the
importance of a search line in your grub.cfg after doing this.
This is so easy to test. Just do some deletions by editing the GRUB
menu when it appears. Anything between if....fi would do for a start.

What effect a USB hub or card reader has on the booting process
I do not know. It could be a factor.
