FYI, just flashed a new system SDCard from your released image file, crowpi2_release_v1.1.0_en.zip, and the same symptom still exists.
Note: Tested the lastest official RaspiOS image, Release date: August 20th 2020, and there is no problem at all.
@Pearl-852 Please follow the steps below to resize the swapfile: STEP 1: Create swapfile and define it size
mkdir /swap
cd /swap
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1024 count=2000000
sudo mkswap swapfile
STEP 2: Active it:
sudo swapon swapfile
STEP 3: Modify the file "sudo nano /etc/fstab" by adding the following line:
/swap/swapfile /swap swap defaults 0 0
@Elecrow-RD Thanks for your reply and instructions on how to create a separate swapfile. After my original report, I have been using a 2GB swap partition on a USB thumbdrive already. So, I am okay running my CrowPi2 with Pi3B+ installed without it freezing up when the system ran out of physical memory.
The issue I was reporting is why running your CrowPi2 system image would fail to boot into X Windows after resizing the dphys-swapfile, while do the same using the official Raspi OS system image has no problem at all.
I would appreciate if you can explain the differences and/or exact cause of this problem for my own learning experience. Thanks

To reproduce:
After reboot, you will be in the cli only. Even entering startx will not start the X Window System.
