first time patch problem

[gil]

Hi,

I'm trying to run a patch for the first time. I must be doing something
obviously wrong. I downloaded aic7xxx-5.1.16-2.0.36.patch, then I tried
the patch command like this:

[root at reliant pcmcia]# cd /usr/src
[root at reliant src]# patch -b linux/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx.c  linux/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx-5.1.16-2.0.36.patch
patching file `linux/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx.c'
Hunk #1 FAILED at 1622.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to linux/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx.c.rej
can't find file to patch at input line 158
Perhaps you should have used the -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

What am I doing wrong?
