Help with AMD Phenom 9600 Quad- Microcode error

I have a ASUS M2N68-AM SE2 mobo with a Phenom 9600 quad proc. When loading ESX4i & 4 I receive the kernel panic with error: No supported microcode levels for this stepping of AMD Family 10h B2 processor. I read through the older threads regarding this issue with ESX 3.5 but none of the suggested workarounds helped. Anyone know how to get around this issue before I ship this system back? ASUS M2N68 was listed on the whitebox HCL as a board that works with ESX4i but I'm having issues.

Have you seen those thread?

There are two different solutions (BIOS version or BIOS configuration) that maybe can help.

I looked at those threads and did not see the BIOS setting suggested and the BIOS of the motherboard is the newest from ASUS. I'm going to contact ASUS tomorrow to see if they have any recommendations as well.
