My guess is that your matrix has zeros or essentially zeros on some diagonal
entries, this could be breaking
Relax down symmetric-SOR/Jacobi
Relax up symmetric-SOR/Jacobi
since the smoother would be dividing by those numbers. Standard multigrid
methods generally cannot handle such matrices without adjustments.
On approach for such problems is to use PCFIELDSPLIT and split off the zero
diagonal portion while using AMG on the rest -pc_fieldsplit_detect_saddle_point
see PCFieldSplitSetDetectSaddlePoint().
