Plugging into computer restarts Rockbox and loads disk mode (Ipod 80G)

This sounds pretty much like an issue with your Linux installation. You can try disabling the USB HID feature, but if you have a release build it should reboot into Apples diskmode anyway. And that is nothing Rockbox has to do with.

I see your point. I'll take it over to the Ubuntu forums and see how far I get. It's just odd that prior to installing a current build, everything worked fine. Thanks though!

You might want to open a terminal and type in the command "dmesg | tail" just after connecting your iPod and see if any errors are shown in the resulting output, if so, that might help you figure out why it isn't automatically detected and shown as a connected device.
Assuming everything was working properly, it should show up as a connected device, and depending on your settings, an icon should appear on the desktop that would open (and mount if not previously mounted) the device.

Now I'm confused. Are you running a release (3.5.1 as you said earlier) or a current build? Release versions use Apples disk mode while current builds do not. If you have a problem with a current build try disabling the USB HID feature (it's known to cause problems at least in some cases on OS X). If you have problems with a release version it's definitely not a Rockbox issue (assuming that it reboots into Apples disk mode correctly).

sdc is my iPod. I don't see any errors.

Prior to a couple of days ago, when I still had Rockbox 3.4, the iPod would pop up when I plugged it in via USB. Then, I got bored at work and decided to upgrade. I accidentally did so to a current build instead of the latest release (3.5.1). Later on, when I tried to connect the iPod via USB to my Ubuntu laptop, it did not mount. However, it showed up as a connected drive in the Palimpsest Disk Utility with the option to mount disabled. Also, the Rockbox installer could not find the iPod. Today, I connected the iPod to my wife's MacBook Pro where it mounted fine and I was able to install the latest release, 3.5.1. The situation has not changed when I connect it to my Ubuntu laptop. I've disabled USB HID to no effect. After connecting via USB, the iPod reboots into Apple's disk mode. Like you said, it's probably an issue with my Ubuntu laptop.
Anyone who's interested can check out the thread I created at the Ubuntu forums.
