For what it's worth, I've had pretty good success installing 14.04 clients from a 12.04 server using the 4.1.1 testing PPA (the nfsroot is 14.04-based, with the default Ubuntu 3.13 kernel). I'm using a live-boot setup since the dracut packages seemed to be broken in 14.04 when I built the packages for the testing PPA. I haven't had a chance to upgrade the FAI server to 14.04 since it's in production, but I'll try to report back here after I try that. I initially had trouble with 14.04 nfsroots on FAI 3.4.8 since some system utilities had been moved/renamed (dpkg-divert comes to mind) -- but it's been pretty smooth sailing since installing 4.1.1.
