CG does not work for indefinite matrices, the natural thing to try is
-ksp_type minres.  You can also try a nonsymmetric KSP which gives you
more choices for preconditioning, although good preconditioning for an
indefinite matrix generally uses problem-specific information.  Where
does this matrix come from?  How scalable does the solver need to be?
