Then I'd guess the schematic you have is wrong. Looking at the board
pictures, there are two caps on the sides of the xtal.. They should be on
the schematic. Just add a pair of 20pf and try. that's a very common load
value. If it dosen't seem to work, then odds are you have a series resonant
xtal, and you'll have to get the right thing.
