You do not need to reconfigure Linux kernel for a larger SHMMAX.
As root, simply echo the new value into /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax:
#echo 83886080 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
In the example above, we set the value of SHMMAX to 80 Mb. The change
takes effect immediately but after a reboot, the original value is
restored. If you put that line in /etc/rc.local (or equivalent), your
system will set the SHMMAX value to the value you'll write there.
If, one day, you need to reconfigure the kernel; then edit
/usr/src/linux/include/asm/shmparam.h and recompile Linux.
(maybe after reading http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html :) )
