I do not typically work with OpenSUSE, but I did run into a similar
problem once before. It might be worth trying:

 

    dkms build -m megaraid_sas -v v00.00.03.21 -k 2.6.16.27-0.6-smp -a
x86_64 \

        --kernelsourcedir
/lib/modules/2.6.16.27-0.6-smp/build/x86_64/smp

 

    dkms install -m megaraid_sas -v v00.00.03.21 -k 2.6.16.27-0.6-smp -a
x86_64
