Optimized the drive with OS only installed. 1.7 Gig available. Still locks. Tried removing a RAM DIMM to get under 1 Gig. Still locks. I'll try copying the OS that works on another Mac to this one via my network tomorrow. (Ran out of troubleshooting time for today.) BTW: That Mac also has 1 Gig of RAM and still allows VM to work. Maybe a difference between 9.1 and 9.2? That Mac is a 7600?G3, compared to this 8600/G3. The only real difference between the 2 is that the 7600 uses a PowerLogix G3 and the 8600 an XLR8 ZIF G3. Maybe an undocumented XLR8 driver conflict?
