Looks like you are trying to solve a singular system. Most likely,
something is wrong with the matrix which PETSc rightly detects.

To be sure, try exporting the matrix to MATLAB/Octave and see if you
can invert it there or compute the condition number:

File file("matrix.m");
file << A;

Then just type

    matrix

in MATLAB/Octave and check if it looks ok.
