That Tails >= 2.7 does not boot is expected and due to the Linux 4.7
upgrade. However it should boot in a 64bit VM.
According to our requirements, Tails needs at least 2 GB of RAM.

We do. I run Tails 2.7 and 3.0 successfully using virt-manager instead
of Virtualbox. Could you give it a try this way?
Also, if you want to retry on Virtualbox, can you make sure you are
using a 64-bit VM?
