Hi Peter:
The source for 40 is under:
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/40/SRPMS/vendor/original/kernel-2.6.9-5.EL.src.rpm
and, also
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/40/SRPMS/vendor/updates
and
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/40/SRPMS/vendor/errata
depending on which version you are looking for.
Hope this helps,
Paul Jochum
