Ok. > Check out the attached config I am using - it’s a kernel I'm running on one server and a couple of virtual machines. That's the working .config.

This should indeed work, this is what I do too. So now, we're kind of guessing. To save us all time, could you capture a serial console boot from the running 3.13 and then the failing 3.14. My guess is that if you diff both you'll likely find what went wrong, but if not you can post here. As for the btrfs FS format, it has not changed in a way that new kernels wouldn't be able to mount an FS from a year ago or more.
