[dm-devel] Next set of device-mapper patches

[Singh, Santosh (STSD)]

I tried to patch on 2.6.16 as following and got the error below 

linux-2.6.16]# patch -p1 < ../patches/patch-2.6.17-rc4

 ....
patching file drivers/usb/media/et61x251_tas5130d1b.c
patching file drivers/usb/media/ibmcam.c

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------

File to patch: 


Could you advise me how to patch.

Regards
Santosh
