As reported in #983017, system-config-kdump is unable to write bootloader configuration on systems that boot using EFI. In addition to fixing s-c-kdump, the SELinux policy needs to be modified to allow s-c-kdump write access to /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg. It might be relevant that the EFI partition on /boot/efi has FAT32 file system. Can you also please fix this for F19, or should I open separate bug report?
Created attachment 773757 [details] grep system-config-k /var/log/audit/audit.log The output of "grep system-config-k /var/log/audit/audit.log" on Fedora 19. (I don't currently have access to EFI-capable machine with F18, sorry.)
Could you re-test it with # setenforce 0 # echo "-w /etc/shadow -p w" >> /etc/audit/audit.rules restart auditd and re-test and run # ausearch -m avc -ts recent
Created attachment 774225 [details] ausearch -m avc -ts recent Attaching requested information.
system-config-kdump should be run with #! /usr/bin/python -Es It should not be using /root/.local. We should allow it to write to dosfs_t if /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg. is a FAT file system?

207c8051a3092e75a1a7c260daf22bfa65806ae2 fixes this in git, IE Allows system-config-kdump to write to dosfs_t files
Back ported.
