To prevent malicious acts I check the integrity of the boot partition by simply
calculating the checksum. If it is the same I configured it, it is OK, if not
-- that it might be some act of cracking (virus, etc).

But the thing is, despite boot partition in my case is used only for booting
(after that boot partition is unmounted and physically detached from computer)
each time I use it, it gets altered. Of course this prevents me and any user
from doing any integrity tests.

Here is the line from /etc/fstab:
UUID=bf4d64ba-ac21-4c3f-b8a6-9a2a3fc7d13b /boot                ext2      
noatime,acl,user_xattr 1 2


Btw. after installation for about a month, it was OK (the checksum was OK), but
(AFAIR) since reconfiguring boot loader (turning KDump on, and then off) on
every boot I get another checksum.
