Anybody got a clue of what to do next?
I have had the same problem. The iso release 43630 work on qemu/kvm, but using in a real boot don’t work and freeze on this step.
Note: for working on qemu/kvm I needed access the virtual machine by ssh and reinstall bundles Xorg and some related. After this, I could use this release.
The developers highly recommend using the IMG image to burn the flash drive.

That’s rubbish. ISO format is the standard, and even if wasn’t, the .img is 15GiB, or 16.1GB, requiring a 32GB USB drive, which I don’t have, and it’s sort of a ludicrous requirement regardless.
Try rufus with dd copy method. For the recent clrlinux iso releases it works well.
The initial error lies in the boot process which looks for a partition named: CLR_ISO
An easy test for it: if you have ever changed the partition label of the clrlinux USB live to anything rather than CLR_ISO, it won’t boot.
