You can safely remove those packages: see http://linuxbbq.org/bbs/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2097

Remove the two packages ("purge syslinux syslinux-common"), continue the upgrade ("ins -f"), and install them again if you want - they are optional packages only needed if you want to make a remaster. They were static versions from experimental (due to unresolved bugs) before Jessie got released, now syslinux from unstable carries a different version, so they conflict.

Moved to support because it is not a warning anymore.
Btw, an introduction would not be bad.

Ah - I just tripped over this one this morning.

Just saying, rules are at the top of this page...We don't support installations in VirtualBox, VMWare, qemu or others.
But hey, never say never ;)

^^ That crash is an upstream bug in the new kernels >4.0, report it to Oracle (see https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/13835 for example) ;) Or go back to kernel 3.16 in the GRUB menu, then purge the new 4.0 kernel.

^ Exactly. And that is the reason why we do not support installations in Virtualbox.
