Rebuilding RAC database from RAC database

Question

Hi All,
Oracle : 10.2.0.4
OS : Linux
I am rebuilding a new RAC database from different RAC database manually from hot bacckup.
Everthing is ok for me but when we try to recoer the new db it will asks you archs to apply.
It will prompt you for the first arch from any thread , after applying the 1st it will not prompt you without giving next arch sequence no from any thread.
I spent time on it and finally get to know that its an oracle bug .
I just want to know wheather is thr any options for us by which we can know the arch sequence no.
Any suggestions wud b appreciated.
Thanks.
