That sounds interesting. Did you ever fill out the FAI questionnaire?
I'm always very interested in user experiences with FAI. 
Please fill out http://fai-project.org/questionnaire

This is much more interesting. I like to help as much as I can for
making this work, since a lot of people like to use FAI on Ubuntu and
I did not get any feedback about running FAI with the newest Ubuntu
version.

First question: Which FAI version are you using?

OK, you are using initramfs-tools and not dracut. But that's fine for
Ubuntu.

For installing Ubuntu 14.04, you are using the Ubuntu 12.04 nfsroot? Is
that right?

Please try to do an Ubuntu 14.04 installation without lvm, but just a
plain simple disk layout. That way, you can make sure if lvm or
something different causes the problem.


BTW, we can also switch to #fai on irc for faster help.
