Success! I have a working Slackwarearm on my Orangepi.! Thank you. I did a fresh install with the new kernel and double checked the mirror I was using. After I got the new install and used slackpkg to install the remainder of the files, my system still failed to reboot. However I then performed a third fresh install using the legacy image and everything seems to be working.
I am still having the issue of having to manually start inet1 each time I boot. Once I get that figured out and get ntp time running on startup I will be completely happy with this.
Again thanks for the help.

Reason: Additional information
Are you using linux-next ?
Do you know which patches are required for HDMI and audio, out of the lot you've collected?
I'm keen only to add what's required.

i don't know what patches are applied, but this is the monitor I have connected
Tontec 7 Inches Raspberry Pi LCD Display Screen TFT Monitor AT070TN90 with HDMI VGA Input Driver Board Controller
Display works fine, I haven't tried anything with video or audio yet.
I did have to use his img for legacy, that may be because the new kernel image requires also to use his package source. I will test that when I get another sd card. Both mini root images booted fine and displayed to this monitor. Only after using slackpkg to install the rest of the packages did the new kernel image fail.
Neither image will connect to my network on boot up. For some reason I have to start inet1 after the system is running.

Reason: correction

Possibly because I pushed out a new kernel in the last batch, which you may have upgraded to - overwriting the one with the HDMI support?
If the Kernel name in /boot is the same as the one in the image you used, that's most likely what happened.

if rc.inet1 is chmod +x (which it should), networking should work. However, you might find that dhcpcd is timing out. Check the logs.

I suspect dhcp timeout. Just to be sure, i set inet1 to chmod +x manually. I don't see anything in dmseg, however during bootup it trys to aquire a ipv6 connection only, times out. and contiues loading.

I can now confirm audio out HDMI does not work. Youtube videos play quite nicely, but audio is on analog output only. Pulse audio mixer does not let me configure/add HDMI out. This is output of aplay:
