Ubuntu 16.04 cannot install from USB stick “Error setting up gfxboot/Could not allocate memory”

I'm trying to install Ubuntu 16.04.04-server-adm64.iso on a Lanner FW-7573B appliance.
Usually I've used Ubuntu 14.04 on the appliance, but I wanted to upgrade on Ubuntu 16.04, but for some reason it doesn't work. I've checked out every available post regarding this topic and none of the solution works for me.
For example:
I can't boot from USB: Error setting up gfxboot
or
Can't run/install Ubuntu from USB: "Error setting up gfxboot"
and many, many other posts too.
Just to sum it up again, I've tried to...:
- Change the boot order
- Type in
helpand pressenterwhen being in boot menu This is the
menu I mean (nothing happens) - Start the installation with boot parameters (When I do this, nothing
happens and after a while "Could not allocate memory" hint appears)
Like this
Example for boot parameters I've used: install quiet splash nomodeset cli console=ttyS0,115200n8
So I'm totally stuck in this boot: menu. I thought it probably could be a hardware issue because the appliance I'm using is quite old. But after installing Ubuntu 14.04 I could do a "do-release-upgrade" to upgrade on ubuntu 16.04 which works perfectly fine. This means there must be a way to install Ubuntu 16.04 right from the beginning by using an USB stick, or am I wrong?
I have no idea what else I could do now. I mean, it works basically, but it would be annoying to have to install Ubuntu 14.04 primarily and then upgrade it to 16.04, because it takes way more time than isntalling it directly from USB.
I'd be glad for any help and let me know if there are missing some important informations.
Best regards!

Please help us help you by telling us: 0. What computer is it (brand name, model number, graphics chip/card)? 1. Which tool (or method) you used to create the USB boot drive; 2. Can you boot from the USB boot drive and 'Try Ubuntu"? 3. Please describe with more details what happens before you get “Error setting up gfxboot/Could not allocate memory”.

0. As stated in the very beginning, I am using a Lanner FW-7573B Appliance (technical data can be found here: lannerinc.com/products/x86-network-appliances/rackmount/fw-7573) // 1. I'm using Rufus for creating the bootable USB device // 2. No, I can't // 3. Nothing, I turn on the power supply of the appliance, some standard text appears which tells me to press "Esc" or "Tab" in order to get into bios and then I'm stuck in the boot menu shown in my pictures

Thanks for the details :-) OK, so Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS booted from USB, but not 16.04 LTS; 1. Did you try the USB boot drive in another computer to check that it works? 2. Did you check that you have the correct architecture (is the processor 32-bit or 64-bit?); 3. Did you check that you can boot Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS now (that the BIOS is configured correctly)? 4. Did you check 16.04.1 (with linux kernel 4..4 series) as well as 16.04.4 (with linux kernel 4.13 series)?

I have added my boot paramters within the "txt.cfg" inside of the isolinux folder. I could start and finish the installation process for 16.04 sucessfully :) My problem is solved. Thanks for your help btw // Edit: I will update my question within the next days with a proper solution and pictures

Congratulations :-) It is a good idea to write an answer with the proper solution and to 'accept' it. This shows other people that there is a solution to your problem. (And yes, you can write and accept an answer to your own question.(
