This took a little playing around with when I was setting things up
from basically the same situation, but ftp instead of http. Assuming
the webserver on the intel box is all fine and dandy, it's probably
a case of misjudging the path. If I remember correctly, you need
to cut "base/stage2.img" off the end, but it *may* be that you need
to cut "RedHat/base/stage2.img" off the end.
In any case, after you get the "bad server response" error (which is
almost certainly a 404) you can alt-f3 or alt-f4 to see the precise
URL that it tried and failed with, and edit what you're telling it to
get based on what it's trying.
