UPDATE 3/19/2010: v2.0.4 now available here.

Unfortunately after one day of it's official release, Canon has pulled the long-awaited firmware from the 5DMkii crowd. Many users are experiencing issues with the audio. This seems to particularly show up when shooting in the custom modes. Please be aware that though your levels may show that you are recieving signal, that does not mean the audio is actually being recorded. You should always monitor your audio anyway. Some have created workarounds, but this is not ideal. The only reason to use a workaround is to get around a problem that can not be fixed. Canon, however is working on the issue. There is no need for anyone else to contact Canon, their server lag should be enough punishment. When the update is available, we will all know.
