For the 4 Mbit part we see this in the logs:

For the 16 Mbit part we see this:

If communication with the 16 Mbit part (SST25VF016B) had worked like in
earlier times, we would have seen this instead:
> RDID returned bf 25 41.

The ff ff ff sequence from RDID tells us that either there is some
communication failure between SPI controller and flash chip or the board
setup (southbridge/superio config) differs.
It would be very interesting to:
- boot with a 4 Mbit chip and switch to the 16 Mbit chip during runtime
- find out if the chips are wired differently (this includes being
soldered on different pads)
- check for accidential shorts.

I'm sure we can debug this, in the worst case with the help of an
oscilloscope.
