The rescue image contains all the needed drivers. SuSE just forgot to link the initialization script /sbin/init.d/boot.device-mapper into /etc/init.d/boot.d . If you run the commands
/etc/init.d/boot.device-mapper start /etc/init.d/boot.lvm start
manually after logging into the rescue system, you should be able to mount your LVM filesystems.
IIRC that was intentional because the LVM start scans a lot of devices to discover all PVs and that can cause problems in tricky rescue situations. Admittable it should be better documented, although the rescue disk generally requires an experienced user. -Andi
