Jun 7, 2017 at 21:26 comment added Emmanuel Rosa Hmm, it's unlikely having LUKS is the problem. You can confirm that by installing Debian on another USB drive using the same procedure, with the exclusion of LUKS. What happens in your setup, is that GRUB loads the kernel and the initrd from the unencrypted boot partition. Then, a script within the initrd calls upon cryptsetup to decrypt the other partitions. Being that the symptom is that the OS will only boot on that given PC, the most likely cause is that the GRUB bootloader being used is the one on sda, rather than sdb. This process is pre-LUKS.

Jun 7, 2017 at 17:38 comment added texuhuku Sorry if I reply only now, is always me, I just lost access to my account. Anyway I tried the said solution, I get no errors when installing grub, however the issue remains, I think that since LUKS is involved there's something different that needs to be done here
