I'm trying to upgrade my laptop to OS 7 but I'm running into a kernel panic. This while I can boot into Ubuntu 22.04 created in the same way, booting from the same USB stick.
I'm on a Dell XPS 15 9550 (with NVIDIA GTX 960M). I'm using the same USB stick, USB port and Balena Etcher install. I've used balenaEtcher-1.14.3-x64.AppImage For both I went into bios to put usb drive as first option in the boot sequence.
I've Downloaded Ubuntu 22.04.1 (ubuntu-22.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso) Selected: Try or install Ubuntu (first option) Boots just fine into welcome install screen.
Downloaded elementary OS (elementaryos-7.0-stable.20230129rc.iso) (using magnet link) I've verified the checksum following: https://elementary.io/docs/installation#verify-your-download When booting I select the Try or install elementary OS option.
I get this error momentarily:
error: Out of memory.
Press any key to continue...
And then the following kernel panic:

I've tried reflashing and booting again. I've also tried the Save graphics option. Both fail.
Ubuntu 22.04 is what elementary OS 7 is based on, I don't understand what could be going wrong here.
