Oscillator cannot oscillator

Hi,

I am going to interface a chip usbn9603 to the microcontroller.
However, I find the 24MHz crystal cannot oscillate (with capacitors
15pF and shunt resistor 1M Ohm). Why? I have checked the circuit for
the whole day but cannot find the solution. Could anyone give me some
hints why the oscillator cannot work.

Thanks!

Have you tried another crystal?
