I noticed that a device is already using IRQ3. You will need to assign it a new IRQ. Looks to be a NIC card.

Well the command shows that there is a UART available there. This is good. I suspect that your NIC has control over IRQ 3 though.
Go into BIOS and see if you can assign another IRQ to the NIC or the serial port.
Other options are you can move the NIC card to another slot and see if ttyS1 works after the move.
Let us know how this goes!

I'm curious about one thing. In your BIOS, do you have PNP OS=YES? If you do, then change that to NO and see if things clear up for you. In all of the Manuals, it specifies you set this option to NO, so the hardware will set the IRQs rather then let the OS do it, which usually causes conflicts. Another reason for taking time to read the great SuSE manuals included with each package.
Stupid IRQs! 2004 and IRQs are still around and a pure PITA!
