As for question 1, there is no kernel configuration menu in the installation 
of 5.0.

As for the second question I can only make a suggestion. Disable "plug and 
play support" (set it to "no") in the BIOS, before you attempt to do 
anything. UNIX systems simply do not detect things OK when that option is 
enabled. Good luck.
