Hi,

It is possible that the UUID "

89b1bd66-6374-471c-9864-10af498625d2." are incorrect

Under the prompt grub rescue>
you may run comand "ls" without quote to list all the disks, like
(hd0,1)    (hd0,2)  (hd0,3)  etc.

You may continue with command
ls (hd0,1)/
to see what files are stored in each disk.

If you are sure which one has your root file system,  run the following
commands to get the grub boot menu.

grub rescue>root=(hd0,x)
grub rescue>prefix=/boot/grub
grub rescue>set root=(hd0,x)
grub rescue>set prefix=(hd0,x)/boot/grub
grub rescue>insmod normal
grub rescue>normal

If the boot menu shows up, you may modify the item on the menu to get into
your installed ubuntu system.

Best,
Reeyarn
