Looks like the VM's guru meditated shortly after reading data from the install ISO but before doing anything with it, if I read correctly.

Also , FWIW, RAM is overprovisioned:
00:00:07.136108 Host RAM: 7945MB (7.7GB) total, 3055MB (2.9GB) available
00:00:07.278817 RamSize <integer> = 0x0000000000400000 (4 194 304, 4.0 MiB)
Check the ISO to see that it was downloaded correctly. Also try a different Linux ISO or a Windows ISO, as a test.

Also try this ISO skipping the unattended installation; do a manual install, see what happens.
