clssgsGroupJoin: CSS has not reached fatal mode.Registration is not yet safe. Retrying

I would like to talk about the second problem we got during RAC installation. Again, after clusterware installation while running root.sh on the first node, we got some delay and the script were going to keeping running. While checking css.log file under $ORA_CRS_HOME/log/<HOSTNAME>/client/css.log file we got the following error:
[code]
[ CSSCLNT][9553600]clssgsGroupJoin: CSS has not reached fatal mode.Registration is not yet safe. Retrying
[ CSSCLNT][9553600]clssgsGroupJoin: CSS has not reached fatal mode.Registration is not yet safe. Retrying
[/code]
However, we were able to run the same shell script (root.sh) on the second node successfully.
After a little investigation in the metalink, we’ve foud that it’s a bug – Bug 6353645: ROOT.SH FAILED TO STARTUP CLUSTERWARE
Although there were no any workaround, we’ve found a suggestion in the end of the note that after running root.sh on the second node, the message in the first node should disappear
It was true 
[code]
[root@FIRSTNODE client]# crsctl check crs
CSS appears healthy
CRS appears healthy
