Yeah, buying a brand-new laptop and expecting linux to work on it is an exercise in frustration. Everything's going to be cutting-edge because the kernel people have had as much time to work on the hardware as you have.
I would wonder if the
latest gentoo livecd can see the disks, I've had good luck with it, though that may not help you install DSL...

KETCHUP(1) General Commands Manual KETCHUP(1)
NAME
ketchup - Utility to update the kernel source
SYNOPSIS
ketchup [options] <ver>
DESCRIPTION
This tool synchronises a local kernel tree with a desired kernel version and patch set from a kernel.org mirror. The default requires a GPG
key on your keyring, to verify the identity of the patches and source archives. Entire kernel images are not downloaded unless necessary,
so bandwidth is saved. Patches are applied and removed as necessary to attain the requested version.
OPTIONS
-a --archive (~/.ketchup)
cache directory
-d --directory (.)
directory to update
-f --full-tarball
if unpacking a tarball, download the latest
-g --gpg-path (/usr/bin/gpg)
path for GnuPG
-G --no-gpg
disable GPG signature verification
-k --kernel-url (http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel)
base url for kernel.org mirror
-l --list-trees
list supported trees
-m --show-makefile
output version in makefile <arg>
-n --dry-run
don't download or apply patches
-o --only-dl
don't apply patches
-p --show-previous
output version previous to <arg>
-q --quiet
reduce output
-r --rename-directory
rename updated directory to linux-<v>
-s --show-latest
output the latest version of <arg>
-u --show-url
output URL for <arg>
-w --wget (/usr/bin/wget)
command to use for wget
CONFIGURATION
Ketchup will read files named .ketchuprc in $HOME and in the target kernel directory, with the kernel directory taking precedence.
A .ketchuprc file uses the Python syntax and may set the following variables:
default_tree
The default_tree option specifies the kernel version to work with if one is not given on the command line.
precommand
The precommand option specifies a command to run before synchronising the kernel tree to the required version.
postcommand
The postcommand option specifies a command to run after synchronising the kernel tree to the required version.
