I'm trying to install a Debian Jessie (8.7.1) on a Virtualbox VM.
During the Debian software installation, which correspond to the step after the choice of which software I'm want to install (see screen bellow)
the installation is getting lock around 27% and then shows a fail screen (see screen bellow)
When I'm looking at /var/log/syslog after having aborted the installation, I can see this
Apparently, the VM is unable to connect to some hosts.
Is it normal ? Should I ignore this step ? Do you have some ways to explore? Or some ideas?

Download VirtualBox for Linux HostsMixed installations (e.g. Debian/Lenny ships an AMD64 kernel with 32-bit packages) are not supported. To install VirtualBox anyway you need to setup a 64-bit chroot environment. The VirtualBox base package binaries are released under the terms of the GPL version 2.
To do that, select the virtual machine and click on Settings. Now, go to the Storage tab, select Empty (CD/DVD drive) from the Controller: IDE, click on the CD icon and click on Choose Virtual Optical Disk File… Now, select the Debian 10 ISO image that you downloaded and click on Open. Now, click on OK.
Start the installationRun VirtualBox and click the New icon on the upper-left side of the machine. From the screen that appears, type Windows 10 in the name field. Then from the Version drop-down box, select Windows 8.1, and choose either the 32-bit or 64-bit version, depending on the ISO you downloaded.
For anyone still struggling with this, I finally managed to fix it (albeit on Parrot) by upping the disk size to 32 GB I tried 8GB, 10GB and 20GB but that was apparently not enough! I also tried messing around with many other settings including boot orders and RAM but that was not it either. Nor was it the ISO in my case but increasing the size to 32 GB worked. Hope this helps.

I had almost the exact same problem. However I managed to get one working with a 3GB hard disk by using VHD format instead of virtual boxes VDI format.
Couldn't tell you why this works but hopefully it helps some other people.
