You have to make sure to read the fine print, i. e. pay attention n
every little detail.

More or less, right, but there is a tiny yet extremely important
difference: here the rogram is named "init", and this is what the
kernel is trying to execute.  You named it "test", and the kernel
knows nothing about this.

It's not wrong. Just very sensitive to even minimal variations.
