You may need to increase the memory to 8GB or so to boot it. I was able to boot it 4.27 with 8GB in a VM.

@antonym I tried increasing the memory to 8GB, and it shows the same problem? Not sure what to do to fix it, I've tried most things I can think of, including cloning it locally to avoid having to download a big iso file each time. Any advice?

The error I get is "(initramfs) unable to find a medium containing a live filesystem."
