I see that system-config-kdump/src/system-config-kdump.py  has

UNSUPPORTED_ARCHES = ("ppc", "s390", "s390x", "i386", "i586").

I guess the error messages may be due to the following list of unsupported architectures.

We are already aware of this. The question is "WHY" the s390* platform has chosen to be unsupported for taking kdump? Observing the above line, we can say that system-config-kdump tools is forbidden on any common desktop arches (system p, z, x), and why?
Comment 4 Josh Boyer 2013-01-22 14:07:28 UTC 
If you figure out this has something to do with the kernel, let us know.  As for now, this should go against the system-config-kdump package.
Comment 5 Roman Rakus 2013-01-22 15:04:43 UTC 
Thanks for the report.
Removing s390* from unsupported list could probably solve this.

version of system-config-kdump: system-config-kdump-2.0.10
Comment 7 Dan Horák 2013-06-12 09:16:22 UTC 
the bug is still present in system-config-kdump-2.0.11-1.fc19, it seems the patch for enabling s390x support was lost, dropped from the package and not integrated into upstream git
