I have a MG hierarchy that I construct manually with DMRefine and DMPlexExtrude.

* The solver works great with chevy/sor but with chevy/sor it converges slowly or I get indefinite PC errors from CG. And the eigen estimates in cheby are really high, like 10-15. 

   So with Cheby/SOR it works great but with the exact same options Cheby/SOR it behaves poorly? Are you using  some quantum computer and NERSc?

* I tried turning galerkin=none and I got this error. 

  This is because without Garkin it needs to restrict the current solution and then compute the coarse grid Jacobian. Since you did not provide a DM that has the ability to even generate coarse grid vectors the process can work. You need a DM that can provide the coarse grid vectors and restrict solutions. Did you forget to pass a DM to the solver?

Any thoughts on either of these issues?

Thanks,
Mark
