when you use the rescue disk, you need to tell it to skip the mounting
of the drives. and i hope you know that you need to shrink the file
system first before you reduce the lv. i don't know if the appropriate
tools will be available on the rescue disk without mounting the main
system drive, though. using a livecd might be needed.
