You're not the only one with this problem, I had it as well when I had
a FPU. For some reason my FPU only worked in 24MHz, and not 16 or 20!
I solved this simply by feeding the FPU directly with a 50MHz clock,
this worked fine.
Unfortunelately I can't remember which pin I fed, I *believe* it was
pin 11. Geir Øyvind is the one to ask here.
